Let’s secure our goals on time: VP
The efficiency and success of a government is measured by its achievements and ability to secure its goals on time, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, said on Monday.
“Under the leadership of the President, His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, our government has introduced a model of government, which is based on a commitment to delivering results, and in transforming various challenges to opportunities. Our government is focused on rapid and steady accomplishments to achieve the goal of making the UAE one of the best countries in the world by 2021 — our nation’s 50th anniversary,” Sheikh Mohammed said.
He made these remarks as he attended a government function at the Etihad Museum on Monday in Dubai, where he evaluated the progress made by the 36 executive teams assembled by the government in October 2016 to implement the National Agenda. Closely evaluated by Sheikh Mohammed, the teams are tasked with working towards the agenda’s objectives with 52 different national indices over the course of the next four years. The goal is to reach perfect scores (100 per cent) across all indices and within six key sectors: Healthcare, education, economy, environment and infrastructure, society, and security and judiciary.
Sheikh Mohammed met 500 members of the 36 executive teams, and was briefed on the results of each team’s respective national index. Additionally, 96 national initiatives that seek to strengthen coordination between the local and federal governments were also announced.
Ministers sign charter to demonstrate commitment
Sheikh Mohammed was present as the ministers signed a charter, whereby they pledged to spare no effort in supporting the executive teams and monitoring the results of their respective indices to reach the objectives of the UAE Vision 2021. He said that signing the charter embodies the commitment of the ministers to ensure that the results of the national indices will be achieved in line with the objectives of the UAE Vision 2021.
