Partnering for local prosperity

Strong local participation is essential for reliable operations and long-term sector growth. ABRAJ builds capability through local supply chains, skills development and targeted community initiatives. This strengthens socio-economic progress across Oman and creates quality jobs, stable opportunities and lasting value.

Building local strength

In-country value (ICV)

Local participation drives better, more reliable operations. ABRAJ supports Omani suppliers and SMEs through long-term sourcing and capability building. In 2024 this translated into a 63 percent ICV index and USD 138 million in local goods and services, alongside OMR 61 million invested locally and OMR 16 million directed to SMEs.
