The Cabinet’s mandate is to convert national aspirations into coordinated, measurable action across every portfolio of public life. It sets the strategic direction for the administration each year, defines clear outcomes, and aligns spending, staffing, and regulations to those outcomes. In practice this means turning broad goals—trust in institutions, safe communities, healthy people, a resilient economy, protected landscapes—into deliverable programs with milestones that citizens can understand. The Cabinet convenes regularly to resolve cross-cutting issues, remove red tape between agencies, and decide how to deploy shared resources when priorities collide. It stewards the integrity of policymaking by demanding evidence, publishing rationales for decisions, and commissioning impact reviews that are released in full.

The Cabinet also serves as the nation’s emergency switchboard. When droughts, storms, market shocks, or public-health risks arise, it activates contingency plans, reassigns budgets within legal limits, and coordinates with regional leaders and independent authorities. It ensures that emergency measures remain time-bound, proportionate, and subject to later audit. Between crises, it maintains readiness through exercises, transparent after-action reports, and continuous improvement of early-warning systems.
