The ‘next fifty’, he said, will focus on strengthening the social and economic ecosystem and building a strong, sustainable and fast-growing economy by strengthening the UAE’s economic partnerships with the world and consolidating its development model.
This came during the UAE Annual Government meetings, held in Abu Dhabi, which brought together all government entities at the federal and local levels to discuss challenges and strategies related to the country’s national development plan to achieve the objectives of the ‘UAE Centennial 2071’.
Sheikh Mohammed signed a charter for the national plan that represents its most important features, the principles of the UAE government and the interdependence and aspirations towards the future.
The plan is based on four main pillars that cover all sectors and fields, including the economy, society, ecosystem and diplomacy.
Forward Society
This pillar is concerned with achieving the prosperity of society, by providing all means of support to citizens and developing an integrated system to empower them and enhance their capabilities to maximise their effective contribution in all sectors.
Also, this pillar focuses on supporting and strengthening the cohesion of families. In addition, the “Forward Society” will cover the Education sector, as a main axis to develop national cadres and provide talent with training and educational materials.
The plan aims to continue to develop the health sector, by updating its services and providing the best healthcare to the community in the UAE.
Through this pillar, the UAE national plan aims to place the UAE among the top 10 countries in the Human Development Index and place its cities among the world’s 10 Best Cities.
The plan will play a pivotal role in enhancing the UAE’s position to become the best destination for medical treatment in the region. In addition, it will contribute to achieving full readiness of all medical facilities and staff, and raising the country’s rank to one of the top 10 countries in the world in the quality of healthcare.
Forward Economy
This pillar will create and develop policies and plans that contribute to achieving high economic growth in all sectors, as well as accelerating the pace of transformation in the energy sector and the reliance on alternative sources of energy to enhance the country’s efforts in the green economy.
The ‘Forward Economy’ pillar reflects the UAE’s belief in the importance of human capital as the main driver of the next 10-year development plan. The UAE aims to be among the top 10 countries in the world to attract global talent.
This pillar aims to raise the country’s GDP to Dh3 trillion, and increase non-oil exports to Dh800 billion. Also, it will raise the value of foreign trade to Dh4 trillion, and raise the contribution of the tourism sector to Dh450 billion.
Forward Diplomacy
“Forward Diplomacy” is one of the main pillars of the national plan that determines the framework of the UAE’s international role. Since the establishment of the Union, the UAE’s foreign policy has been based on a set of principles aimed at consolidating the foundations of peace and joint cooperation at the regional and global levels. The plan aims to consolidate the pivotal role and influence of the UAE based on respect for human values.
The plan seeks to strengthen the UAE’s foreign relations with countries around the world, enhance its international presence, cooperation and friendship, as well as encourage positive dialogue worldwide.
The plan attaches great importance to strengthening the UAE’s role as a supportive force for the global environmental agenda, thus contributing to achieving qualitative leaps in climate neutrality and consolidating the country’s position as an innovation hub in sustainability, science and technology.
Forward Ecosystem
The fourth pillar of the ‘We The UAE 2031’ plan aims to enhance Government Performance, providing the best government services in the world and developing the most flexible business models in order to achieve results and effectiveness.
The UAE seeks to consolidate its position as one of the world’s most secure and safe countries, with the best social, food, water and digital security.
This pillar focuses on infrastructure and its development according to the latest technological methods. This pillar includes the development of digital infrastructure.
This pillar aims to make the UAE top ranked country in the world in developing proactive legislation for new economic sectors and enhancing the country’s position to be in the first place globally in the safety index, as well as raising the country’s position to one of the top three countries in the global cybersecurity index and one of the top 10 countries in the global food security index.
The ‘We The UAE 2031’ is a road map in which all government entities and institutions and the private sector will cooperate to ensure advancement of the development process, in accordance with the 10-year framework of the plan.
