The General Directorate of Dubai Civil Defence and the Awqaf and Minors Affairs Foundation (AMAF), have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to enhance and support strategic partnerships, promote the exchange of expertise, and strengthen collaboration between government entities.
The collaboration boosts ongoing efforts to safeguard life and property, improve fire prevention and response, and enhance the overall safety and security of residents across the emirate. It also aligns with the strategic goal of making Dubai one of the world’s safest cities.
The MoU was signed by Lieutenant General Expert Rashid Thani Al Matrooshi, Director-General of the General Directorate of Dubai Civil Defence, and Ali Mohammed Al Mutawa, Secretary-General of the Awqaf and Minors Affairs Foundation.
The two parties welcomed the agreement, which will bolster their mutual capabilities to forge effective partnerships and improve coordination in implementing the latest safety and preventive solutions throughout the emirate of Dubai.
Lieutenant General Al Matrooshi emphasised that the MoU underscores the commitment of both the Directorate of Dubai Civil Defence and the Awqaf and Minors Affairs Foundation to foster successful strategic partnerships within the emirate. “The agreement marks an important step in terms of enhancing the quality of life for all residents of Dubai and in harnessing advanced technology to ensure their protection and safety. We are confident that more innovative solutions can be developed together in this field,” he added.
Al Mutawa reiterated that the MoU marks a crucial step towards meeting the most stringent standards and elevating safety in buildings and facilities overseen by the Foundation in Dubai. This, in turn, will serve to strengthen Dubai’s reputation as one of the world’s safest cities, he said. “The Awqaf and Minors Affairs Foundation, in partnership with the General Directorate of Dubai Civil Defence, is committed to enhancing safety in the emirate by engaging strategic partners to support the implementation of best practices and the latest cutting-edge technologies, with the goal of achieving a safer and more sustainable future,” he added.
On the sidelines of the MoU signing ceremony, a delegation from AMAF visited the main operations room at the General Directorate of Dubai Civil Defence. The team also undertook a tour of the Dubai Civil Defence readiness room, concluding the visit at the Marhaba customer service centre.
During the visit, the delegation was provided a comprehensive overview of advanced communication programmes, customer satisfaction review systems, and various other strategies in place to enhance the standard of public services.
