Proposal
Proposal outlines a strategic investment in the Noonu Atoll Company through the issuance of startup capital. By utilizing existing assets of the Noonu Atoll Local Authority Company Limited, this initiative aims to establish and strengthening governing structures of the company.

31.3 Budget Reallocation for Quran Competition and Speedboat Fuel Expenses

Proposal
Noonu Atoll Council proposes a budget reallocation to address the financial shortfalls in two key areas: the Quran competition and speedboat fuel expenses. The budgeted amount of 315,000.00 Maldivian Rufiyaa (MVR) for the Quran competition has proven to be inadequate to cover the actual costs associated with the event. Similarly, the expenditure for speedboat fuel for rental trips has exceeded the budgeted amount of 412,400.00 MVR. To address these shortfalls, the council proposes to reallocate funds from the activity budgeted for strengthening value-added products in the atoll. This reallocation will ensure that the Quran competition and speedboat fuel expenses are adequately funded, allowing for the successful completion of these important initiatives. While this reallocation may have a minor impact on the planned activities related to value-added products, the council believes that it is essential to prioritize the funding of the Quran competition and speedboat fuel expenses to meet the needs of the community.
