The forum also served as a crucial platform for strengthening collaboration and coordination among government entities. It
facilitated dialogue on the tools and mechanisms required for enhancing legislative compliance, an essential factor in consolidating
the rule of law, improving government efficiency, and promoting the principles of effectiveness and transparency within the Dubai
government sector.

H.E. Al Muhairi explained that legislative compliance is a cornerstone of government excellence, serving as a key indicator of
progress and a catalyst for enhancing the performance of public sector operations. He underscored the need for unified efforts and
seamless coordination among all government entities to ensure the optimal implementation of legislative frameworks. This, he

noted, contributes to consolidating the rule of law and strengthening Dubai’s position at the forefront of legislative compliance
regionally and internationally.

H.E. Al Muhairi added: “Legislative oversight is gaining increasing importance in light of the rapid pace of economic and
technological transformation, and the growing adoption of advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), amid rising
public expectations for higher levels of efficiency. In this context, the Supreme Legislation Committee in the Emirate of Dubai
remains committed to raising awareness about the importance of aligning institutional work systems within government entities with
legislative compliance frameworks, and to adopting well-defined policies and procedures that ensure attainment of the highest
standards of legislative compliance.”

The forum concluded with the 'Legislative Compliance Award', recognising several entities as exemplary models of legislative

compliance. These included Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA), Dubai Health Authority (DHA), Roads and Transport
Authority (RTA), Mohammed Bin Rashid Housing Establishment, Financial Audit Authority, Dubai Corporation for Ambulance
Services (DCAS), Islamic Affairs and Charitable Activities Department (IACAD), and the Judicial Council.
