7/24/25, 9:30 AM DGHR organises ‘Community Change Lab' to advance ‘Year of Community' objectives
H.E. said: “The ‘Year of Community' represents a national call to strengthen social solidarity and cohesion, while
expanding community participation in building a prosperous future. We believe that national talents are key drivers of
institutional social change and sustainable development. In line with this vision, we have organised the ‘Community
Change Lab' initiative to develop innovative, actionable solutions based on community-centric innovation. It can also
enhance the resilience of our government institutions, creating an environment that empowers individuals to actively
engage and contribute to change, supporting Dubai's forward-looking humanitarian and social agenda. This is why
we emphasize the importance of the ‘Innovation Club' launched by the department as an open platform for all those
involved in innovation and development within government institutions. It plays a vital role in empowering their efforts
and ambitions to drive positive change and foster a culture of community-driven innovation, ultimately contributing to
sustainable development.”

The lab focused on four core themes to help forge a more resilient future that embraces positive transformation,
welcomes all segments of society, and affirms the role of individuals in advancing sustainable social development,
upholding DGHR's visionary goals.

These include the Policies and Systems pillar, aimed at developing inclusive policies and legislation, empowering all
segments of society, specifically employees, people of determination, women, retirees, and job seekers, while
ensuring the sustainability of social impact; the Empowerment and Capacity Building pillar for designing training
programs, which can enhance the skills of target groups, enabling their effective participation in community initiatives
and supporting institutional integration.

In addition, the Digital Empowerment and Artificial Intelligence pillar explored the role of digital solutions and AI
technologies in delivering innovative services that promote inclusion and stimulate engagement. Meanwhile,
the Social Participation and Partnerships pillar focused on boosting cooperation between the public and private
sectors, as well as the broader community, to launch innovative ventures which can strengthen social integration,
empower women, and support people of determination and retirees through sustainable partnerships.

The Community Change Lab served as a unique platform to transform strategic visions into tangible initiatives,
aligning with DGHR's innovative approach, which prioritises human capital investment as a means to drive
sustainable development. Moreover, the entity's ongoing efforts contribute to empowering all segments of society,
including women, people of determination, retirees, and job seekers, while fostering active engagement and
strengthening social cohesion.
