It is designed to ensure a seamless, well-governed approach to child welfare through closer collaboration among
specialised teams from various government entities including Dubai Police, Community Development Authority,
Dubai Public Prosecution, Dubai Courts, Supreme Legislation Committee, Knowledge and Human Development

Authority, Dubai Health Authority, Dubai Academic Health Institution, Dubai Corporation for Ambulance Services,
Erada Center, Dubai Foundation for Women and Children, General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs,
Digital Dubai Authority, and Dubai Sports Council.

The newly approved Community Development Fund Policy aligns with the Dubai Social Agenda 33 and supports

various social development initiatives. The policy aims to enhance community services, help fund social programmes
and foster an inclusive society. It is managed by the Community Development Authority and focuses on empowering
UAE nationals, improving social services, and driving innovation in the field of social support.

The Executive Council also approved a new property classification initiative called Strata Registration, designed to
enhance home ownership opportunities for UAE citizens by enabling property owners to subdivide real estate units

and issue independent title deeds for each unit within the building.

The initiative will facilitate more diverse housing options, support family stability and community cohesion, in addition
to stimulating economic growth within the real estate sector. Implemented in two phases by the Dubai Land
Department, the initiative’s first phase focuses on multi-storey buildings within investment and social-purpose zones,

targeting areas such as Al Nahda, Al Muraqqabat, Al Karama, Al Warqa, Nad Al Hamar, and Al Barsha.

The second phase will extend to villa communities, providing Emirati families with more ownership choices. By
facilitating more flexible ownership structures, the initiative aims to encourage greater participation in Dubai’s real
estate sector while ensuring a dynamic and inclusive market.

The Executive Council also approved the Super Block initiative. The project focuses on transforming designated

urban areas into car-free zones to enhance quality of life, foster social interaction, and promote sustainable mobility.

Aligned with the Dubai 2040 Urban Master Plan, the initiative aims to reduce carbon emissions by designating
pedestrian only residential areas, enhancing quality of life by increase green spaces, and fostering social interactions
through shared recreational public spaces. Areas such as Al Fahidi, Abu Hail, Al Karama, and Al Quoz Creative Zone

will be the first to benefit from the initiative.

The meeting also saw approval being accorded for the Unified Digital Platform Initiative to integrate government
digital services in Dubai under a single platform, streamlining the user experience for residents, businesses, and
visitors. The initiative aligns with the Services 360 Policy and aims to position Dubai among the top three global cities
for digital services by 2027.

It consolidates platforms such as Dubai Now, Invest in Dubai, and Visit Dubai, and features special portals for

mobility, construction, legal affairs, and commerce. By 2027, the initiative targets full digital service coverage, a 95
per cent customer satisfaction rate, a 95 per cent digital adoption rate, and a 60 per cent improvement in service
efficiency.
