11/27/24, 8:24 AM ADCMC provides government entities with recruits from 4th batch of Alternative National Service Program
conducted in collaboration with the UAE Ministry of Defence, represented by the National Service and
Reserve Authority, alongside the ADCMC.

By enhancing the resilience of government organisations, the programme boosts their capacity to
address diverse challenges and contribute to national stability. With the activation of eight additional

entities, a total of 18 government bodies in Abu Dhabi, including ADCMC, are now part of the
programme, with ADCMC recently receiving its first cohort of 20 alternative service recruits. This
milestone marks a strategic advancement toward building an integrated framework that reinforces the
emirate’s readiness to manage emergencies, crises and disasters.

The latest move brings the total number of recruits in the Alternative National Service programme to 260,
as part of a strategy to establish 30 active agencies across the emirate by early 2025. The first batch,
which was activated in March 2023, included 86 recruits from three government entities. The second
batch, in September 2023, added 15 recruits to two more government entities, while the third batch, in
February 2024, had 41 recruits spread across five government agencies.
