Abu Dhabi award to boost inclusion for people of determination
The Abu Dhabi Excellence Award will honour organizations that are making healthcare, education, transport, tourism and culture, more accessible and inclusive.
The award, introduced by the Department of Community Development, celebrates efforts in three areas: inclusive services, accessibility, and inclusive employment.
It's designed to boost the integration of People of Determination into the workforce and everyday life, and facilitate nearly 500 inclusive services in six key industries: healthcare, education, tourism, recreation, transportation and mobility.
This initiative aims to empower more than 600 entities across the public, private and third sector, which includes non-governmental and non-profit organisations, to be fully accessible, reinforcing Abu Dhabi's leadership in inclusive development.
The award is structured around three key pillars:
Inclusive Services, focuses on enhancing the quality of life for People of Determination by delivering innovative and exceptional services.
The second pillar, Accessibility, recognises the efforts of entities in prioritising ease of access to physical and digital environments, including facilities, services and information for People of Determination.
The third pillar, Inclusive Employment, promotes the integration of People of Determination into the workforce by encouraging entities to provide inclusive workplaces that accommodate their abilities and aspirations.

Abu Dhabi calls on residents to nominate unsung heroes for civilian honour
UAE authorities have called on the public to nominate individuals who've made exceptional and selfless contributions to the community for the 12th edition of the Abu Dhabi Awards. Held under the patronage of President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the award has, over two decades, recognised 100 individuals who have selflessly served the UAE community. Anyone irrespective of their nationality, age or profession is eligible for a nomination via the Abu Dhabi Awards website. Once submitted, nominations go through a thorough research and review phase, where a dedicated team evaluates each candidate's impact. Finalists are then reviewed by a judging panel, who makes the final recommendations. Award recipients, who will be selected based solely on their deeds, and not by the number of nominations they receive, will be honoured by Sheikh Mohamed during a special ceremony. The Abu Dhabi Awards is accepting nominations year-round, through its website, to honour inspiring role models who have contributed meaningfully to the UAE's community. Nominations for the 12th edition are now open, celebrating the value of goodness across all fields in the UAE. — مكتب أبوظبي الإعلامي (@ADMediaOffice) August 6, 2025

'We work as one': How Dubai warehouse is run by people of determination
In a corner of Dubai's sprawling logistics zone, a group of young men and women work in near silence — not out of discipline, but circumstance. At a Chalhoub Group warehouse in Jafza, the quiet hum of productivity is punctuated only by the soft rustle of plastic packaging and the click of stickers being applied — 'tchik tchik' — as a team of People of Determination (PoD), most of them deaf, meticulously label multi-use concealers. This is not a typical warehouse. This is inclusion in action. The 11-member team is part of the Chalhoub Group's collaboration with 'I Am Inclusive', a UAE-born employment platform dedicated to empowering individuals with disabilities. The initiative places PoDs in meaningful, long-term roles across the private sector — and this warehouse is one of its standout success stories. 'We recognised the need for expert guidance to ensure a structured, dignified, and scalable approach to employing People of Determination,' said Damian Brown, VP of Talent Acquisition at Chalhoub Group. 'This collaboration ensures we're not just compliant, but setting a benchmark for inclusive hiring in the region.' The group's Jafza distribution centre currently employs more than 20 PoDs in roles ranging from labelling and sorting to inventory support. 'Since their integration, overall warehouse productivity has increased and performance levels are at their highest,' Damian added. 'The presence of PoD has strengthened accountability, focus, and cohesion within the wider team.' From Ajman and Manila to Dubai Among those hard at work is Omar Alkaabi, a 23-year-old Emirati from Ajman. He wakes before dawn, prays Fajr, and drives himself an hour each way to work. 'I love the team here,' he signed, smiling. 'There are so many nationalities, and we all work as one. There is no discrimination.' Omar applies barcodes to boxes, checks the scan, and ensures items are logged correctly into the system. 'Everything must be transferred to the distribution centre and uploaded to the server,' he explained. 'I studied in a public high school, and even though I'm deaf, I was completely independent — I didn't need a shadow teacher.' He described his school years as challenging, having studied in mainstream classrooms where he had to rely on reading from the board and asking for help when needed. 'I put in more effort than others, but I succeeded,' he said. 'And now I just want to help others too.' From the Philippines, 34-year-old Lucyl Bianchi Misolas — known as Bia — also found her opportunity through 'I Am Inclusive' after nearly a year of job searching in the UAE. 'Through my deaf friends, I was connected with 'I Am Inclusive' and finally got this role,' she said. 'Shalhoub has given us that support to find success.' Bia previously worked in warehouse roles in the Philippines, and now applies her experience in labelling and packaging. 'It was a slow start, getting acquainted to the process, but we've established a good rhythm now,' she said. Born into a third-generation deaf family, Bia studied at a deaf college in the Philippines. Her goal now is to develop more professional skills and help others in the community grow. 'We don't want to stay in one place,' she said. 'We want to collaborate and improve together.' Sign language, inclusion, and shared culture One of the team's non-deaf colleagues, Saeed Al Obeidli, taught himself sign language on YouTube to communicate with his deaf teammate, Ahmed Al Dhufri. 'Omar also taught me a bit,' he said. 'I started learning last December, during the National Day holiday.' Their efforts to build a shared language are echoed across the warehouse floor. After lunch, the team laughed as they assigned sign names to visitors — a kind of social signature. One was given a gesture highlighting her eyeliner, another a folded-arms motion to mimic a supervisor's stance. To ensure an enabling environment, the warehouse has been adapted with accessible layouts, visual instructions, and quiet areas. Each PoD employee is paired with a trained buddy. 'We also trained managers on communication styles, neurodiversity awareness, and inclusive leadership,' said Damian. 'The feedback has been extremely encouraging,' he added. 'Team members described the experience as personally fulfilling and professionally enriching.' Building a culture of belonging Sign language interpreter Husam Eideh said one of the reasons this warehouse functions so smoothly is because it has built a shared culture, not just adapted for deaf employees but shaped around their strengths. 'In many places I've visited, deaf workers were isolated or unsupported. But here, they are a team — everyone is happy to be at work,' he said. 'It's like a school for society.' Both Omar and Bia speak of their workplace with pride — and see it as just the beginning. Bia hopes for more collaboration with Emirati and Indian organisations, while Omar dreams of returning to football, a passion he's pursued since childhood despite challenges. 'I played in a police championship recently and hope to join the Al Ain team again,' Omar said. 'It's all about personal skills.' Expansion plans Chalhoub Group says the success of the Jafza pilot has laid the foundation to expand the inclusion model into retail and corporate roles. 'The vision is to build a truly inclusive organisation where PoD are represented across our entire business ecosystem,' Damian said. 'With the right mindset and partnerships, we're confident this approach can scale and positively transform how we work.'

Dubai to host the 7th edition of AccessAbilities Expo featuring 250 exhibitors, brands, and rehabilitation centres
His Highness Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed: 'We are committed to empowering People of Determination as Dubai reinforces its position as a global hub for Assistive technologies." World Health Organization: Two billion People with Disabilities by 2050 International Experts: By 2030, more than 2 billion people will need at least one assistive product, while many elderly individuals will require two or more. Dubai, United Arab Emirates: People of Determination represents 10–15% of any given population, and currently totals 1.3 billion globally. This number is projected to rise to two billion by 2050, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), due to factors such as aging, illness, wars, and illiteracy. In the Middle East region alone, more than 50 million People of Determination are seeking access to the latest technologies and rehabilitation innovations to help them live more independently and improve their quality of life. The UAE continues to pursue its goal of becoming the world's best country in caring for and empowering People of Determination. This ambition is supported by unlimited backing from government entities and dedicated efforts from the private sector to deliver high-quality services to this long-neglected segment of society and disabled visitors from across the globe. A Global Platform for Empowerment The AccessAbilities Expo (AAE) stands out as the largest of its kind in the Middle East, North Africa, and South Asia. It serves as a global platform supporting the UAE's vision to empower People of Determination and meet their aspirations for a dignified life. The 7th edition of the AccessAbilities Expo will be held from 6 to 8th of October at the Dubai World Trade Centre's Halls 5, 6, 7, and 8, under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, President of Dubai Civil Aviation Authority, Chairman of Dubai Airports, and Chairman and Chief Executive of Emirates Airline and Group. The global event is expected to attract around 250 international exhibitors, brands, and rehabilitation centers from 50 countries, with over 15,000 visitors from more than 70 countries. Numerous government entities, both local and international, will also participate to explore how Assistive technologies can enhance their services for People of Determination. Empowering Through Advanced Technologies His Highness Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, Patron of the AccessAbilities Expo, stated: "Assistive technology continues to evolve, offering advanced features that improve mobility and accessibility for People of Determination. I am pleased that Dubai plays a central role as a global hub providing modern technologies to more than 50 million People of Determination in the Middle East who are seeking solutions to enhance their quality of life. We remain committed to empowering them by bringing world-class technologies and best rehabilitation practices under one roof, supporting them to live more independently." Innovative Products Catering For All Types of Disabilities Organized by Nadd Al Shiba PR & Event Management, the AccessAbilities Expo will showcase several Assistive products for the first time in the Middle East. It is the largest platform for manufacturers and distributors of Assistive products, as well as a key supplier of these technologies to government bodies, rehabilitation centres, and healthcare and educational institutions working with People of Determination. Ghassan Suleiman, CEO of the AccessAbilities Expo, said: 'Strengthening empowerment, widening accessibility, and showcasing cutting-edge rehabilitation technologies are the core goals of the Expo. We aim to create more opportunities for over 50 million People of Determination and related centres across the Middle East region to explore these technologies first-hand and understand how they can have more independent and self-reliant lives." He added: 'This edition of AAE will also feature conferences, workshops, and free screenings, including the MENA Inclusion Summit - Advancing Global Best Practices for Equitable and Inclusive Education, the 5th edition Accessible Travel and Tourism International Conference, and, for the first time, a specialized conference on the Deaf community, alongside sports, arts, and health activities." 4,500 Assistive Technologies With over 4,500 globally recognized technologies addressing mobility, visual, auditory, intellectual disabilities, and autism spectrum disorders, the Expo plays a crucial role in empowering People of Determination, who make up 10–15% of any country's population. According to the World Health Organization, only 1 in 10 people in need of assistive technology currently has access to it due to high costs, lack of awareness or availability, insufficient trained personnel, and weak policies. Assistive technology is a broad term encompassing both products and services that enhance functionality and independence. These tools, ranging from hearing aids and wheelchairs to communication devices, eyeglasses, prosthetics, and more—help individuals maintain or improve their functional ability and independence, thus improving their overall well-being. Over one billion people worldwide currently need one or more of these products. International disability experts estimate that by 2030, over 2 billion people will require at least one assistive product, with many elderly individuals needing two or more. A latest WHO report on Assistive technology revealed that about 90% of people who need it globally do not have access. A survey of 70 countries found significant gaps in service delivery and trained workforces, especially in cognition, communication, and self-care.
