UAE Government Strategy 2011-2013
The UAE Government Strategy 2011-2013 lays the foundations to achieve the UAE Vision 2021, launched by HH Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai. It forms the basis upon which the Federal Entities develop their strategic and operational plans, and consists of seven general principles, seven strategic priorities and seven strategic enablers.
The strategic priorities and enablers are not fully comprehensive but comprise the major focus areas for the government. Each strategic priority and enabler includes general main directions and specific sub-directions - which combined lead to the fulfillment of the relevant main direction - and which the government will work to achieve during this strategy cycle.
