The ICV programme falls under the Ministry’s strategy and is designed to optimise the impact of government spending and strengthen strategic partnerships with the national industrial sector.

In recognition of its outstanding contributions, the Ministry of Finance and H.E. Mariam Mohammed Hassan Al Amiri, Assistant Undersecretary of Government Finance Management at the Ministry of Finance, were awarded two prestigious honours by the Ministry of Industry and Advanced Technology during the “Make it in the Emirates” initiative and “National ICV Day,” under the “ICV Champion” category, highlighting the Ministry's transformative leadership in reshaping federal procurement practices to accelerate ICV integration.

The Ministry of Finance received the first accolade, the ‘Best Industry Enabler and Strategic Partner Award’, in recognition of its key role in driving the implementation of the ICV Programme at the federal level.

The award recognises the Ministry's efforts to embed ICV standards into procurement policies and legislation, launch a unified digital platform to support the programme, and provide a fair and competitive environment that empowers national suppliers.
