Two prominent figures were recognized with the Mohammed bin Rashid Sash for their substantial contributions to national initiatives and projects that have significantly impacted Emirati society. Sheikh Ammar bin Humaid bin Rashid, Crown Prince of Ajman, and Sheikh Theyab bin Mohamed bin Zayed, Chairman of the Office of Development and Martyrs Families Affairs at the Presidential Court, were honored by the Dubai Ruler on Tuesday.
Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, praised Sheikh Ammar for his role in enhancing the government system in Ajman and fostering a productive partnership with the federal government. Sheikh Theyab was celebrated for his leadership in key national projects, including the National Railway Program and Etihad Rail. His contributions also extend to community initiatives such as the Emirates Villages, which he oversees through the Emirates Council for Balanced Development.
The honors were bestowed during the Mohammed bin Rashid Government Excellence Award ceremony. The event acknowledged outstanding achievements across various categories, including the best Ministry, best authority, best director general, best federal employee, best teacher, and best school principal, among others. Additionally, the ceremony highlighted the top-performing entities in public service, as well as those excelling in communication, innovation, legislation, and continuous development.
"The development process continues, and our commitment to monitoring government performance remains unwavering. The UAE’s journey towards the future will not be halted by anyone," Sheikh Mohammed stated. The Mohammed bin Rashid Government Excellence Award 2024 focuses on several key areas: leadership and vision achievement, distinguished value and important services, major and transformational projects, and overall performance and competitiveness. These categories aim to promote excellence in government services and align with the UAE's strategic vision for a prosperous future, as outlined in "We the Emirates Vision 2031."
This year, the awards involved a comprehensive evaluation process conducted by over 130 Emirati and international experts, assessing 225 candidates from 27 competing entities. The updates to the evaluation criteria reflect the UAE's readiness to adapt to global transformations and maintain its leadership in governance.
