“Omar Al Ansari, Chairman of the Youth Council, DGHR said: “The decision to reconfigure the
youth council and establish a new vision aligns with our dedication to meet the evolving

requirements of the youth and empowering and directing them towards attaining their maximum
potential. This move signifies a vital investment to ensure a better future for them by creating

an encouraging environment to showcase creativity and excellence and offering opportunities for
growth, development, and innovation to attain leadership qualities.”

The Youth Council’s initiatives will focus on fostering young talent in Dubai and integrating them
into strategic human resources planning across different sectors. By leveraging the innovative

visions and creative ideas of the youth, it aims to strengthen the human capital framework
within the public sector.

The new council operates through four core paths: Partnerships Pathway, Capacity Development
Pathway, Artificial Intelligence Pathway and Quality of Life Pathway. These pathways seek to

strengthen the department’s efforts by enhancing effective communication channels among
different youth councils, further empowering the youth to cultivate their skills and pursue their
ambitions. This can be achieved by leveraging latest technological innovations and

advancements in AI to bolster and execute innovative ideas, with a specific emphasis on
programs and initiatives that promote mental and physical wellness, as well as financial literacy.

Under the guidance of the Director General of the Department and Chairman of the Youth
Council, the administrative team will oversee the innovation and implementation of the new

system. Their key objective is to support and steer all pathways toward reaching the desired
goals, in accordance with the DGHR’s strategy of enhancing human capital, particularly focusing

on the younger generation. This can be achieved by harnessing methods of empowerment,
including the execution of projects and programs aimed at fostering their technical and
leadership skills, while also fulfilling the objectives of the UAE Centenary Plan 2071, which aims

to empower the Emirati youth.
