He reviewed the key resolutions issued by the committee since its formation in May 2022 and directed members to launch a new phase of innovative projects.

Sheikh Hamdan pointed out that the committee has recorded many achievements in line with the objectives of the Dubai Social Agenda 33, including the distribution of over 8,400 land grants, increasing social allocations and other benefits to support citizens to AED 542 million and employing over 17,000 Emiratis in the public and private sectors.
