  Bishii Abriil 10-keedii, 2025, dowladda Sudan waxay dacwad ka gudbisay Imaaraadka Carabta oo ay ku eedeysay inuu door ku lahaa falal xasuuq ah oo ka dhacay gudaha Sudan, taasoo ay horgeysay Maxkamadda Caddaaladda Caalamiga ah (ICJ).

UAE’s Visionary Initiatives Drive Development and Progress in 2024

 

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has demonstrated remarkable progress in 2024, underscoring its commitment to development, innovation, and cultural advancement through a series of forward-thinking initiatives. These efforts aim to bolster the UAE’s global standing, enhance its soft power, and establish leadership across multiple sectors. Here’s an overview of the UAE’s strategic projects and plans that define its roadmap for sustainable growth and long-term governance.

Transformative National Initiatives

Among the UAE’s key projects this year is the "Unified UAE Numbers" project, a groundbreaking national initiative designed to advance the country’s statistical capabilities. This collaboration between federal and local entities aims to optimize data usage in economic, demographic, social, and environmental fields, positioning the UAE as a global leader in data-driven decision-making.

Additionally, the UAE introduced the "Young Government Leaders Programme 2024" during its Annual Government Meetings. This programme underscores the pivotal role of young leaders in shaping the country’s future, empowering them to take on leadership positions and contribute to national development.

Economic Growth and Sustainability

The "National Investment Strategy 2031" is another ambitious initiative targeting economic growth. It aims to double cumulative foreign direct investment (FDI) between 2025 and 2031, increasing FDI’s share of the national economy from 15% to 30%. This strategy will boost FDI stock to AED1.3 trillion and triple the cumulative FDI balance to AED2.2 trillion by 2031, strengthening the UAE’s position as a global investment hub.

In agriculture, the UAE launched the "Plant the Emirates" programme, a series of initiatives promoting sustainable national food security and advancing agricultural development. This initiative highlights the UAE’s focus on self-reliance and environmental sustainability.

Governance and Efficiency

Under the "Zero Government Bureaucracy Programme", the UAE launched the "Work Bundle", aimed at streamlining residency and work permit procedures for private-sector employees. Initially implemented in Dubai, this initiative will expand nationwide, saving an estimated 62 million workdays annually and significantly reducing bureaucratic inefficiencies.

The "Blue Residency" was introduced to attract individuals making exceptional contributions to environmental and sustainability efforts. This long-term residency program reinforces the UAE’s commitment to global sustainability and environmental action.

Enhancing Youth and Citizen Opportunities

The National Youth Agenda 2031 sets a clear vision for empowering Emirati youth by preparing 100 young leaders to represent the UAE in international forums, fostering strategic partnerships in science and technology, and ensuring full employment opportunities for young people. Simultaneously, federal government job preferences for citizens with private-sector experience aim to balance public and private sector opportunities, enriching the national workforce.

Combating Financial Crimes and Drug Abuse

The UAE unveiled its 2024-2027 National Strategy for Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism, reflecting a robust stance against financial crimes. Complementing this, the National Anti-Drugs Strategy (2024-2031) aims for a drug-free UAE by 2031 through comprehensive prevention, awareness, and rehabilitation programs.

Science, Technology, and Entrepreneurship

A high-level science and technology policy was adopted, focusing on areas such as energy transition, cybersecurity, health, food security, water resources, and advanced manufacturing. The "Riyada" fund, allocating AED300 million, was launched to incentivize graduates to pursue entrepreneurship, driving innovation and economic diversification.

A Vision for the Future

The UAE’s initiatives in 2024 reflect its dedication to sustainable development, economic diversification, and global leadership. By investing in innovative programs, empowering its youth, and embracing data-driven governance, the UAE is building a future marked by resilience, inclusivity, and progress.

As the UAE continues its journey toward Vision 2031, these transformative initiatives stand as a testament to its unwavering commitment to excellence and a brighter future for all.
