The award seeks to promote the role of the federal government institutions serving the UAE society at all levels, as well as increasing awareness about the principles of excellence and its role in modern governments. The award also aims at developing the competencies required to boost excellence in the federal government.
It is worth mentioning that 251 candidates, 39 undersecretaries and general managers, and 85 assistant undersecretaries and executive directors from 30 federal entities were evaluated. As many as 60 Emirati assessors and 121 international assessors were involved in the selection of winners.
