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.
