Sheikh Mohammed stated, “From Qasr Al Watan, we launched the UAE Volunteering and Community Engagement Ecosystem, a national initiative that includes a comprehensive strategy to grow the country’s volunteer base to six hundred thousand. It also introduces a unified digital platform and supports the third sector and public benefit organisations.

“The initiative aims to increase the number of these organisations by thirty percent, through a single services portal, community project incubators, and a fund worth one hundred million dirhams.”

He added, “Our aim is to make volunteering easier, strengthen community participation, and embed giving as part of our national identity. The UAE is a country of progress and prosperity, but also of generosity and compassion. It builds with one hand, and gives with the other. I thank the team behind this strategy, led by Sheikh Theyab Bin Mohamed Bin Zayed, and the dedicated team supporting its delivery. The UAE moves forward with two forces, economy and cooperation, and giving and solidarity.”
