Inclusion and Empowerment of People of Determination

Under the The National Policy for Empowering People of Determination, launched by HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, People with disabilities are referred to as ‘People of Determination’ to recognise their achievements.

DEWA is committed to supporting the inclusion and empowerment of stakeholders in the work environment and society as a whole.

The ‘My Community … A City for Everyone’ initiative was launched by HH Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defence of the UAE, and Chairman of The Executive Council of Dubai, to fully transform Dubai into a friendly city for People of Determination, to make the Emirate home to a cohesive, harmonious and mutually supportive society.

This supports the achievement of the Dubai Social Agenda 33 and Dubai's goals for family happiness and cohesion by providing services to the highest standards and strengthening the nation’s identity in a tolerant and cohesive society.

DEWA won the Best People-of-Determination-Friendly Government Entity award at the Dubai Government Excellence Program (DGEP) 2024. It is also listed on the list of government bodies that support the My Community…A Place for Everyone initiative. To find out more, click on the following My community
