Transparency and accountability are pillars of Mohéli’s governance. Each year, the Mohéli government releases its Budget Estimates – a detailed breakdown of expected revenues and planned expenditures for the upcoming fiscal year. These budget documents, prepared by the Ministry of Finance in collaboration with all ministries, are presented to the Island Assembly for review and then made public. Citizens and stakeholders can find the latest Annual Budget on the Reports page, which highlights key allocations (such as education, healthcare, infrastructure, etc.) and any new development projects. The budget summary is presented in an accessible format, including charts showing how funds are distributed to priority sectors. Alongside financial transparency, we also publish Official Addresses and speeches delivered by Mohéli’s leadership. This includes the Governor’s Annual Address to the island (often outlining the administration’s achievements and plans, akin to a “State of the Island” speech), and any important addresses by the Governor during national events or local celebrations. For instance, the Governor’s Independence Day speech or New Year’s message to the population will be available for all to read. These addresses are important for keeping the public informed of the government’s vision and responding to current challenges or events. Additionally, if Union-level dignitaries (such as the President of the Union or visiting ministers) deliver speeches in Mohéli, those transcripts might be shared in this section to ensure our residents stay informed about national matters. The Budget and Addresses section also archives past documents: you can review budgets and addresses from previous years to track Mohéli’s progress and policy direction over time. By maintaining this repository, we hope to encourage citizen engagement – for example, community groups and NGOs can use budget information to align their efforts with government plans, and citizens can hold leaders accountable by referencing commitments made in official speeches. In short, this section ensures that the government’s financial plans and public communications are open for scrutiny and reflection by all interested parties.
