Director General of the Federal Authority for Government Human Resources
Completion of the Project of the Federal Authority for Government Human Resources comes within a series of Projects to upgrade and modernize the utilities and Institutions of the United Arab Emirates, visions, strategies and mechanisms for a long time for attainment of the ambition of the political leaders to place U.A.E. in the heart of modern life and realm of advance Countries, His Highness Shaikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of U.A.E. (May Allah save him) is conscious of the fact that the objective of modernization and taking Community at large to the realm of advance communities may not be achieved without a leading entity for the processes of development and which can handle supervision, draw plans, programmes and propose mechanisms and strategies and enjoys unconventional powers and independency, the matter which is adequately personified in our vital pioneer Authority.
While we are grateful and thankful to His Highness Shaikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum for his generous auspices and standing by us in boosting our morale and ambitions, we find ourselves privileged with His Excellency Humaid Al Qatami, Chairman of the Board who is leading the action team which paves the way that the nascent Authority reaps the fruit today by the grace of his vision and nice patience and continuous support which enabled us to reach to a clear vision which is keen on looking for criteria and advance modern vision wherever in the advance World.
We wish the Almighty to crown our efforts with success in our strategy tasks in leading the operations of development of Human Resources in Government Sectors and develop its capabilities to achieve the desired development.
