11/27/24, 8:26 AM ADCMC-Abu Dhabi provides government entities with recruits from Alternative National Service Programme
The deployment was conducted in collaboration with the UAE Ministry of Defence,

represented by the National Service and Reserve Authority, alongside the ADCMC.

This initiative is designed to strengthen business continuity within critical

institutions and sectors during potential emergencies, crises and disasters. By

equipping personnel with essential skills through targeted preparation, qualification,

and training, the programme ensures that key roles remain operational under

challenging circumstances.

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 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.

As an organising body in Abu Dhabi, the ADCMC plays a pivotal role in activating

alternative service protocols across essential sectors and institutions. It is tasked

with identifying eligible entities in alignment with National Service and Reserve

Authority standards, assigning recruits to suitable job classifications, overseeing

their performance evaluations, and ensuring their ongoing participation in annual

training and exercise programmes.
