The Community Development Authority enhances engagement with senior citizens and People of Determination to support well-being and reaffirm its support for them and promote values of solidarity that define UAE society.
The Community Development Authority (CDA) in Dubai is engaging with senior citizens and People of Determination to check on their well-being and reaffirm its support for them. The initiative reflects the Authority’s human-centred approach, which prioritises close connection with the community, strengthens social reassurance, and promotes the values of solidarity that define UAE society.
The Authority said that these efforts underscore its commitment to its community role in caring for individuals and supporting family stability. CDA teams continue to follow up on the well-being of senior citizens and People of Determination and remain in contact with them and their families to understand their needs in a way that reflects the values of compassion, solidarity, and mutual care that underpin Emirati society.
The CDA also emphasised that Dubai and the UAE community have long been recognised for their strong spirit of solidarity and cohesion that brings members of society together. These values reflect the strength of the community and its ability to come together in different circumstances while reinforcing a shared sense of security and stability. Maitha Al Shamsi, Executive Director of the Community Empowerment Sector at the CDA, said: “Senior citizens and People of Determination hold a special
place in our community. Checking on them and maintaining communication with them and their families is an essential part of our community mission. In times like these, we are keen to remain close to them, listen to them, check on their well-being, and reinforce their sense of support and care.”
