    Country Office Annual Report 2020 Gulf Area - 3780 Update on the context and situation of children The UNICEF Gulf Area Office represents UNICEF’s presence in United Arab Emirates (UAE), Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), Kuwait, Qatar and Bahrain and is focused on advancing child protection, early childhood development, evidence and data for children while strengthening partnerships and alliances with Gulf based actors in support of children around the world, especially the most vulnerable and those affected by humanitarian crisis. The Gulf sub-region was substantively affected by a combination of the reduced oil demand globally and the impact of the coronavirus pandemic. In response, national actors responded assertively with a series of large-scale public health measures including the establishment of coordination mechanisms at the highest levels of Government, the provision of health care services to all citizens and residents, closures of public spaces, including schools and non-essential services, measures that were eased in the second and third quarters of the year. With respect to the economy, a range of policies were implemented to mitigate the fall-out, especially directed at the private sector. In the Kingdom of Bahrain this included a US$ 11.3 billion stimulus package targeting the private sector, waiving of utility bills for citizens and residents, and salary support through the end of the year for the uninsured in the private sector and other industries affected. In Kuwait, a stimulus package of US$ 1.6 billion was combined with efforts to accelerate the nationalization schemes for employees in key industries (education, commercial, oil sector, and others) with legislation passed to drastically reduce the current 70 per cent of expatriate workers in the country.

  • United Arab Emirates: a Ministry of State for Happiness to Move Society Forward and Guide Public Policy
    Responsive Public Management No. 95 – July / August 2017 United Arab Emirates: A Ministry of State for Happiness to move society forward and guide public policy The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is the only federation in the Arab world, grouping together seven emirates1 for a population of 9.8 million, of which around 12% are UAE nationals. The country is dynamic (GDP growth of 2.7% in 2016) and prosperous (GDP per capita of US$ 38,032 in 2016). Among OPEC Member Countries, it ranks fourth in terms of oil production (2.8-3 million barrels per day) and seventh for oil reserves worldwide (98 billion barrels).2 The UAE boasts a multicultural society and a diversified economy (notably in the tourism, finance, services, real estate, air transport and international trade sectors), and has shown resilience in the wake of lower oil prices. The public sector, which employs 97% of young Emiratis,3 is focused on the future. 2015 was declared the “Year of Innovation” in all ministries, and that year, the government decided to devote 1% of the federal budget to innovation, with a new government agency dedicated specially to this issue.4 The UEA hosts the World Government Summit5 and works closely with the OECD on innovation issues.6 The country aims to be resolutely modern, and appointed a woman as Minister of State for Happiness in February 2016. A Ministry of State for Happiness in the UAE: a paradox?

  • Case Study About UAE Federal Government's Happiness Meter
    UAE’s Happiness Meter Delivering Government Services Innovation Through Data Analytics Driving Excellence Across Government Services Worldwide Produced by GX.ae Knowledge Partner: Context For governments, delivering happiness has become an important goal. The World Happiness Report and Index, published by the United Nations Sustainable Development Solutions Network, is a clear indication of the increasing focus on wellbeing. In Bhutan, Gross National Happiness (GNH) is a constitutional goal. New Zealand’s national budget is wellbeing-driven1. Since 2016, the United Arab Emirates has had a Minister of State for Happiness and Wellbeing. Governments’ ability to deliver on happiness is being streamlined and expanded through technology- led innovations. Smart devices, Big Data analytics, and the Internet of Things are part of a new wave of government service excellence enablers. Big data and artificial intelligence (AI), in particular, offer breakthrough ways for governments to measure and deliver happiness. The UAE Federal Government Happiness Meter is a strong case study of how new technology, in concert with process solutions, can successfully increase happiness around government services. The UAE Federal Government's Happiness Meter is a feedback and assessment system that enables 100% of federal services in the UAE to collect and respond to real-time customer (citizens, residents, visitors) feedback interactions. It is enabling UAE government services to deliver on happiness goals quickly and efficiently. The Happiness Meter was developed to solve key challenges in customer and government service interactions, that included a lack of consistent data, real-time feedback, and ability to identify reasons for customer unhappiness. As of April 2019, the Happiness Meter has been deployed across all government entities that interact with customers, through customer service centers and multiple online channels.
