Exercising powers vested in the presidency under the Constitution, President Dr Mohamed Muizzu assigned administrative oversight of these newly formed facilities to the Ministry of Homeland Security, Labour and Technology.

The initiative fulfils statutory mandates under the Decentralisation Act, which calls for integrated service centres to bring essential government functions closer to local island communities. The directive also sets out the names and letter codes to be used for official correspondence.
