2/6/24, 4:46 PM DEWA enhances strategic cooperation with the Islamic Affairs and Charitable Activities Department in Dubai
“At DEWA, we work in accordance with the vision of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin
Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, to

strengthen strategic partnerships with government organisations and departments in

Dubai as well as consolidate efforts to bring government performance to the highest
possible levels of integration and excellence. In this regard, Moro Hub, a subsidiary of

Digital DEWA, the digital arm of DEWA, signed an agreement with the Islamic Affairs and
Charitable Activities Department in Dubai in 2021, to lead the digitisation of IACAD. This

aimed to promote growth internally and externally and consolidate efficiency in the
IACAD’s IT department, providing added value to contribute to making IACAD a leading

department worldwide. This agreement between Moro and IACAD has contributed to

elevating IACAD’s work to a new level, maximising its operational efficiency and overall
productivity, investing in fulfilling the business demand and improving happiness for its

employees, customers, and partners while ensuring business continuity,” said HE Saeed

Mohammed Al Tayer.

HE Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer presented HE Ahmed Darwish Al Muhairi with the Green

Certificate given to companies and organisations hosted by Moro through green cloud
services, for reducing their carbon footprint to support global efforts to combat climate

change. The certificate reflects Moro’s appreciation for IACAD’s efforts in choosing Moro’s

green cloud services to host its data.

“In order to achieve institutional cooperation and in line with enhancing cooperation

among government departments in Dubai, the Islamic Affairs & Charitable Activities
Department in Dubai aims to promote and enhance religious awareness in society by

elevating the quality of services provided to citizens and residents and facilitating them

across all Emirates. IACAD continues to work with all relevant organisations in every field
to unite national efforts, especially in technical and digital initiatives and projects, including

the Green Cloud project by Moro Hub. All of IACAD’s systems and programmes were

transferred to Moro Hub’s servers. This has contributed to reducing our carbon footprint,
benefiting from the Green Cloud, which represents a high level of service level agreement

(SLA). This supports global efforts in combating climate change. IACAD is among the first
government departments to cooperate with Moro Hub as part of the cloud systems project.

IACAD cooperates with DEWA in many areas, including utilising smart solutions to save
energy consumption in Dubai mosques in coordination with Etihad ESCO; and with Moro

Hub to include innovative ideas and smart solutions while examining ways of cooperation
