Prior to the Ministerial Meeting, the 26th meeting of senior housing officials of the GCC countries took place. The
meeting focused on highlighting areas of technical cooperation and experience sharing in developing housing policies
and achieving sustainable urban development.

Eng. Mohamed Al Mansouri, Director-General of Sheikh Zayed Housing Programme, led the UAE delegation
participating in this meeting. He emphasised that the UAE continues its leading role in supporting Gulf integration and
forging effective partnerships that drive progress and help build sustainable cities.

Al Mansoori highlighted the UAE’s experience in the housing sector, affirming that the Sheikh
Zayed Housing Programme is one of the region’s leading models. Since its establishment, the programme has
successfully met thousands of housing requests and contributed to empowering Emirati families to own suitable
homes that provide them with stability.

Also, on the sidelines of the Third GCC Housing Week, the GCC Housing Hackathon, a competition specially
designed for GCC university students, was organised. The hackathon aimed to encourage innovation and creative
thinking among youth in the field of housing and urban planning.

Students from the United Arab Emirates University, University of Sharjah, and Ajman University participated in
the event. They presented innovative projects aligned with smart city trends, contributing to the development of
creative solutions for future challenges in the housing sector.

The UAE delegation included high-level representatives of the Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure, represented by
Sheikh Zayed Housing Programme, Abu Dhabi Housing Authority, Mohammed Bin Rashid Housing Establishment,
and the Department of Housing in Sharjah.

The delegation took part in the sessions and accompanying events of the meeting, which featured presentations of
member states' experiences and discussions on future challenges and opportunities in the Gulf housing sector.
