1 The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 Name Institution
Introduction For years, successive Saudi Arabian governments have tried to find ways of reducing the dependence of the country on oil.
The oil forms a huge part of the Kingdom’s economy.
The country is a major exporter of oil in the world.
There is no doubt that most of the oil producing countries in the world are rich except for a few that have failed to put in proper mechanisms that can help in managing the oil resource. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has successfully managed to put in measures that have enabled it to utilize the capital that comes from the sale of the oil products. However, while doing so, the population and the government have neglected other important sectors(Neil & Sprusansky,2017). There are other important sectors that have remained untapped for years. This realization is what prompted the Saudi vision 2030 in an effort to reduce the dependence on oil. Thus, the unveiling of this important plan was one of the greatest milestones to ensure the reduction of dependence on oil.

1 Vision 2030 Reducing Saudi Arabia’s dependence on oil.
Diversification of of economy Development of public service sectors such as: tourism,healthcare,recreation,education and infrastructure.
The Saudi Vision 2030 is a package of economic and social policies that have been specifically designed to enable the kingdom from depending so much on the oil exports. Through the vision, Saudi aims to build a sustainable and prosperous economic future for its population by focusing on the policies and strengths of the Kingdom. 2 The details of the Saudi vision 2030 were first availed to the public by the Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman(Neil & Sprusansky,2017). The Council of Economic and Development Affairs will be the one in charge of ensuring the achievement of the vision through monitoring and identification of measures and proper mechanisms that are required. According to research, the oil contributes between 30-40 percent of Saudi Arabia’s total GDP. There is also another population that depends so much on the oil distribution in Saudi Arabia. Many successive governments in Saudi Arabia have always aimed at reducing this dependence.

Governance of Vision 2030 Definition of directions and making of decisions Development of strategies Implementation of strategies Escalation mechanisms
4 The governance of the Saudi Vision 2030 is very detailed. The structure consists of four levels that start all the way from the Council of Ministers, the Council of Economic and Development Affairs, the Strategy Committee, the Strategic Management Office and finally the Execution Office. In Level one, all the issues relating to the vision are supposed to be addressed by the relevant executive ministries in charge of implementing the initiatives and programs. The issues are handled under the direct supervision of the relevant head of the ministry. 4 In Level Two, the Strategic Management Office that operates under the Council of Economic and Development Affairs is then tasked with examining the raised issues and consequently prepare complete information that helps to clarify the raised issues and other convergent views from all the relevant bodies.
If it is impossible for the office to handle the issue, the information is supposed to be handed to the Strategy Committee for a resolution(Neil & Sprusansky,2017). At Level Three, the Strategy Committee on its discretion decides on any matters that have been forwarded to it by the Strategic Management Office. 1 The strategy Committee can alternatively decide to refer the matter to the Council of Economic and Development Affairs for a resolution. In Level Four, all the raised issues are supposed to be referred to the Council of Economic and Development Affairs for a decision.

7 The Saudi 2030 Vision has three main themes; building a vibrant society that has strong roots,fullfiling life and a strong foundation. 6 The second theme of the vision is to have a thriving economy that is focused on rewarding opportunities, opening up more for business, investing for long-term, and leveraging the unique position of the Kingdom. Finally, the third theme of the Saudi vision 2030 talks about an ambitious nation that will be governed in an effective and responsible manner. All the above three themes can easily be achieved by the Saudi government through commitment that already exists from the Crown Prince and the other leaders(Neil & Sprusansky,2017). The kingdom has already set aside resources that will enable it to achieve its set goals and vision by 2030. A team of professionals that are well knowledgeable is already in place to spearhead the efforts. The Saudi vision 2030 also has programs that need to be implemented to enable it achieve the three laid out themes The programs will touch on all corners of the sector thus having a direct impact on the people.

The country is working on improving access to quality healthcare of all its citizens by 2030(Mrus,2016). People would be able to be attended to in a short time thereby increasing the chances of survival. The government is also training the citizens on the health awareness on some of the non-communicable diseases. Early detection and preventive measures are also being employed in an effort to reduce death tolls and the impact that a particular non-communicable disease may bring in the country(Alyami,2018).

The Saudi Vision 2030 is a good program that would bring fundamental positive changes to the country especially in the healthcare sector. People will now get an opportunity to access quality healthcare services because of enhanced infrastructure and the better training of the health care providers such as doctors and nurses. The insurance programs will also play a bigger role in ensuring that every citizen can access the services they prefer.
