ABU DHABI / WAM
The Abu Dhabi Department of Urban Planning and Municipalities (DPM), is leading a project to develop a Capital Investment Planning System (CIPS), that will automate processes and bring
together all government capital projects across the emirate.
CIPS will aim to house all major five-year capital plans such as utilities, roads and community facilities under one overarching system, offering greater collaboration and transparency between projects and departments across the government and private sector.
More than 150 delegates from 58 government agencies attended a workshop, organised by the DPM, allowing stakeholders to help shape the design of the project and the system. The workshop acted as a platform to share anticipated outcomes and benefits of CIPS, while allowing the project team to gain an understanding of the stakeholders’ current planning systems and processes.
