6/13/25, 9:52 AM DGHR reinforces commitment to inclusive employment for people of determination across Dubai’s government entities - Middle Eas…
His Excellency Abdullah Ali Bin Zayed Al-Falasi, Director General of DGHR’s
Department, emphasised the significance of this initiative, stating: “The formation of the
Higher Committee for the Protection of the Rights of People of Determination, chaired by His
Highness Sheikh Mansoor bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, is a significant step
towards empowering people of determination—not only through employment opportunities
but also through an integrated ecosystem that begins with assessment and training,
followed by professional follow-up and development. Beyond simply providing jobs, we
create career paths based on competence, fairness, and passion. This strategic direction
reflects our commitment to shaping an inclusive work environment where every member of
society, including people of determination, has the opportunity to define Dubai’s future.”

Insights and Initiatives:

According to the report issued by DGHR, the number of people of determination employed
across government entities has reached 326, including 237 UAE nationals. The report also
includes an extensive breakdown by type of disability, educational qualifications, and gender
distribution, making it a valuable resource for policymakers as they develop future
strategies to support inclusive employment initiatives.

Dubai Municipality, the Roads and Transport Authority, Dubai Police, Dubai Academic Health
Corporation, and the General Directorate of Identity and Foreigners Affairs have topped the
list of entities employing the highest number of people of determination.

Through the implementation of broad strategic initiatives aimed at integrating people of
determination into the public sector workforce, DGHR has remained committed to inclusive
employment. These efforts have been carefully designed to provide advanced vocational
training aligned with their aspirations and capabilities.

In addition to statistical reporting, DGHR’s responsibilities also include evaluating the
professional competencies of job seekers from the people of determination community,
designing tailored training programs, and hosting specialised workshops to enhance their
readiness for the job market. In addition, DGHR follows up on their professional
development within the respective government entities to ensure a sustainable and
equitable work environment that fosters growth and excellence.

In this regard, DGHR has launched a series of awareness and community-driven initiatives,
including career guidance workshops, participation at job fairs, and collaborations with
community organisations and the private sector to expand employment opportunities for
people of determination. These strategic efforts reflect the Dubai Government’s unwavering
commitment to building an inclusive work environment that empowers people of
determination as active partners in shaping a sustainable future for Dubai.
