UAE vision 2021

In 2010, the United Arab Emirates’ Government launched the UAE Vision 2021', which “sets the key themes for the Socio-economic development of the UAE” and calls for “a shift to a diversified and knowledge-based economy”. This program will be supervised by The Ministry of Cabinet Affairs and the Future . This program is multidimensional and aims to provide the Emirati nationals with the highest possible standards of welfare. The needs and aspirations of Emiratis “are at the core of the development process as set by the UAE Vision 2021”, Sheikh Mohammed said. In the day following the launch of this program, the Crown Prince tweeted in English: “Today we set our goals for the govt. of Dubai in 2021, as we march confidently towards the future & new horizons” , adding “In a first of its kind initiative, the government aims to compete with the private sector in terms of the caliber of service it provides.

The Emirati Government has set a national agenda whose aims cover many fields. The final and comprehensive goal of this vision is the give the United Arab Emirates the status of one of the best countries of the world by 2021—the nation’s Golden Jubilee Year. More than 300 UAE officials, men and women, from 90 local and federal governmental institutions, have worked on developing the national agenda, which has been subdivided into six national axes representing the main sectors, which will be the main focus of the government: Education, Health, Economy, Police and security, Housing and Infrastructure and government services. The UAE Vision National Agenda aims for the UAE to be the safest place on the Earth. The global economy will witness significant changes in the coming years. Education is a fundamental element for the development of a nation and the best investment in its youth.

The UAE strives to build a cohesive society with a preserved identity. It also aims to “be among the best in the world in the Human Development Index” and to provide all the conditions that make Emirati nationals happy. The creation of a Ministry of Happiness in 2016 confirms United Arab Emirates determination and commitment reach these goals.

Another important level targeted in “UAE Vision 2021” is the economic one. “Shaikh Maktoum ordered all economy-related bodies to boost the economy’s immunity while taking into consideration external factors to support sustainable economic growth in the emirate on the long run” UAE Vision 2021 “focuses on the UAE becoming the economic, touristic and commercial capital for more than two billion people by the transitioning to a knowledge-based economy, promoting innovation and research and development, strengthening the regulatory framework for key sectors, and encouraging high value-adding sectors. These will improve the country’s business environment and increase its attractiveness to foreign investment.”

The Vision deals also with the issue of healthcare. The UAE wants to reduce lifestyle related diseases and promote preventive medicine. Besides, the UAE tries to have a very effective healthcare system that can be able to deal with any epidemics or health risks.
