The initiative to accelerate Emiratization in Al Dhafra was in line with the directives of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces and Chairman of the Executive Council of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, with a view to create at least 10,000 job opportunities for citizens in the private and government sectors, so as to achieve the objectives of Abu Dhabi Developmental Accelerators Program (Tomorrow 21), while the initiative to accelerate the employment of those who completed their national services was implemented by the Ministry in cooperation and partnership with the National Service and Reserve Authority.

His Excellency Nasser bin Thani Al Hamli, Minister of Human Resources and Emiratisation, announced the closing of both initiatives during two separate events that were recently organized in Abu Dhabi, in the presence of the Ministry's leaders and representatives of its partners in both initiatives.

His Excellency praised the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Ruler's Representative in Al Dhafra Region, to accelerate the Emiratisation initiative in the region.

He stressed that “the results achieved by both initiatives were the culmination of the partnership and joint efforts exerted by the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation with its partners, on top of which is the National Service and Reserve Authority and the Job Opportunities Committee, formed by the Executive Committee of the Executive Council of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, as well as the private sector as a strategic partner in the Emiratization file.
