ABU DHABI / WAM
The United Arab Emirates, in April, witnessed various events and activities that consolidated the process of transforming “Tolerance†from a societal value to sustainable institutional action, according to clear mechanisms and strategies.
The hosting of the conference on ‘Tolerance in the Context of Legislative and Judicial Systems’, the opening of the ‘Tolerance Neighbourhood Pro-ject’ in Umm Al Qaiwain along with the announcement of charitable initiatives for the Holy Month of Ramadan, highlighted the events in which the UAE reiterated its status as a global reference for tolerance.
The country also, through these initiatives, highlighted its outstanding and ample role establishing and creating channels of communication with all people.
In early April, the Board of Trustees of the International Institute for Tolerance (IIT) in Dubai, a branch of the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives, approved the institute’s five-year strategic plan from 2019 to 2023.
The plan is based on six main axes, which are guaranteeing the happiness of customer by exceeding their expectations, creating effective long-term sustainable partnerships with stakeholders, establishing tolerance by building a cohesive community based on tolerance, peace, coexistence and acceptance, creating an educated and innovative working environment by empowering human resources through training, development and continuous learning, and focussing on active institutional governance through managing financial resources efficiently and effectively.
