The Abu Dhabi Executive Council (ADEC) is the local executive authority of the Government of Abu Dhabi for the Emirate of Abu Dhabi. It assists the ruler of Abu Dhabi in enforcing local and federal decrees and leading the Abu Dhabi government.
The Council holds periodical meetings in Abu Dhabi to discuss issues and memos referred by Abu Dhabi's departments and governmental authorities. These memos often concern the progress of government-sponsored projects, the development of services, reviewing government performance and appointing heads of local departments or agencies.[2][3]
All governmental departments report to the ADEC, and membership of the ADEC primarily includes the heads of local governmental departments. As of March 2023, the ADEC is chaired by the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, Sheikh Khaled bin Mohamed Al Nahyan.[4]
