“We have developed several tools that have helped us sense the community’s priorities and understand its needs and aspirations. The results have shown a desire for more social, sports, cultural, and artistic activities, and more facilities designed for children and People of Determination. The studies have also shown the need for frameworks supporting entrepreneurs to attract an elite of global and local companies to establish their offices in Ajman to become key partners in economic and human development.”

Sheikh Ammar outlined that the Ajman Vision is based on eight fundamental principles: sustainability, inclusivity, community centrality, governmental agility, future preparedness, accountability, cooperation, and the spirit of union. The Ajman Executive Council will ensure adherence to them and disseminate their culture.

The eight principles serve as the foundation for planning and implementation until 2030, encompassing diverse aspects of balanced development and have spurred collaborative efforts to design impactful projects.

Sheikh Ammar further added that, “Looking ahead, there will be a significant emphasis on community programs, with a target to increase artistic, cultural, and sports activities by 400 percent by 2030. As the youth segment represents 36 percent of the emirate’s population, the vision will work on developing policies that harness this vital energy to maximize the emirate’s economic and social stature. In the coming days, we will launch a program for ambitious young leaders, aiming to empower them with skills and knowledge to realize their potential.”

Sheikh Ammar reiterated the commitment to providing policies and programs for children and women, fostering a modern institutional system guided by core principles, and accelerating development through partnerships with the private sector. “Updating the urban plan of the emirate will be among our priorities, and we have already commenced work on the coastal development project for Ajman in recent months. This project will increase the public beaches by 300 percent and equip them with integrated urban facilities.”

The coming months will witness the commencement of the “Heart of Ajman” project to double the emirate’s regional and global trade logistical capabilities. The vision is expected to increase spending on leisure and tourism activities in the Masfout area by 200 percent over the next four years.

Sheikh Ammar also lauded the efforts of H.H. Sheikh Theyab bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan and his team in the “Emirates Villages” project, which began in the Masfout area to enhance people’s lives.

“Ajman Vision 2030 symbolizes the emirate’s aspirations and ambitions over the next six years, aiming to establish Ajman as a beacon of success and a model of inclusive development for all its residents,” he said.

H.H. Sheikh Theyab bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan affirmed that providing a decent life for citizens is a strategic goal for the country’s leadership, which always ensures that the citizens enjoy all means of social stability, livelihood, and quality of life.

Sheikh Theyab commended the launch of the Ajman Vision 2030, which aims at achieving sustainable development, and emphasized the significant care given to the Masfout region by providing infrastructure, quality service systems, and creating job opportunities for its residents.

Sheikh Theyab pointed out that the Emirates Villages project aims to develop tourist, heritage, and service facilities in the Masfout region with a focus on empowering the residents of these villages with economic opportunities and integrating them into the development process.
