Dubai Government entities awarded for excellence

​Mohammad Bin Rashid: UAE and Dubai will always be pioneers in the world and will not settle for anything less than first place

Dubai: The Dubai Government Excellence Award (DGEP) has been a key driver for enhancing services and improving policies in Dubai Government over the past 21 years, His Highness Shaikh Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, said on Monday.

“Over the years, Dubai has set an example for service excellence for countries in the region and beyond. 

Since its launch 21 years ago, DGEP has become a synonym for excellence, accomplishment and quality,” Shaikh Mohammad said. He also said that the DGEP has contributed to developing a culture of excellence across the GCC and the Arab region, and making Dubai a byword for service quality.

Shaikh Mohammad was addressing the winners of the 21st edition of DGEP at a ceremony held at the Dubai World Trade Centre, in the presence of Shaikh Hamdan Bin Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Dubai Crown Prince and Chairman of Dubai Executive Council, and Shaikh Maktoum Bin Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Deputy Ruler of Dubai. Other shaikhs and senior officials also attended the award ceremony.

He thanked all employees of Dubai Government and expressed his appreciation for their efforts to achieve excellence. He said more new ideas need to be generated to ensure we make another leap in service quality in the next phase of Dubai’s growth.
​
“Those who were honoured today are our best performers, and everyone should learn from. Their success and commitment to excellence should be a source of inspiration for everyone,” he said.
 
“At the same time, those who have achieved excellence still have a lot more to do, as accomplishment and excellence have no limits. It’s important that those who achieved outstanding excellence share their experiences with their colleagues. Individual efforts and excellence need to be streamlined to achieve excellence on an organisational level,” Shaikh Mohammad said.

He added that excellence is a culture in the UAE. “What we have accomplished in terms of development and progress in every sphere of life is the result of our commitment to meet the aspirations of our people.”

Addressing the winners, he said: “You are the pillars of our future. Your innovation and hard work and your commitment to ensure the best for your nation will have a great impact on the future of our country. The UAE and Dubai will always be pioneers in the world and will not settle for anything less than first place,” Shaikh Mohammad added.
