Chairman Message
The state has planned that 2020 would be an exceptional year, being the year of
preparation to celebrate the "Golden Jubilee" of United Arab Emirates foundation. However, without expectations, 2020 was an exceptional year for the
whole world, and the toughest year from centuries. Covid-19 Pandemic became a
difficult test, not only for the ability of different countries to deal with this type of
crisis and contain its various repercussions, but also represented a challenge
regarding moving forward with the implementation of their development plans
and major projects.
As is the norm of the UAE, with credit to the relentless efforts and the pioneering
role of the wise leadership in addressing the pandemic, we were able to transform
the ordeal into a real gift. The experience of our country was inspiring in how to
harness all energies and adopt solutions that show the extent of the government
and the nation solidarity, side by side, in addressing these exceptional
circumstances, and the ability to overcome the challenges regardless of their
difficulty through tireless initiatives and preventive measures.
In its turn, the government authorities in the country in general, and the Emirate of
Abu Dhabi in particular, have shown great response to these exceptional
circumstances, and the experience revealed the strength and ability of the digital
infrastructure of the state institutions to adapt to the emergency changes, which
strengthened business continuity with the same efficiency and effectiveness.
The Fund has been a pioneer in interacting with the state's efforts, as its future
foresight vision and early preparation for digital transformation by establishing an
advanced digital infrastructure was a cornerstone of anticipation and readiness
that contributed to managing the pandemic crisis (Covid-19) in a smart way,
addressing its repercussions and ensuring business continuity according to a
clear and highly efficient methodology. Success was our ally in completing all the
Fund's operations and providing its services 100% remotely, which provided
reassurance and contributed to preserving the rights of citizens registered with
the Fund. We will continue to work and develop to fulfill the aspirations and vision
of our wise leadership aimed at securing and protecting the rights of future
generations.
