The UAE government just extended the highly successful Nafis programme until 2040. President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan directed this major extension.

Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan officially announced the exciting news today. This vital initiative empowers national talent and strengthens the local labor market. It also drives the national economy forward continuously.

Exciting New Family Initiatives

Officials introduced several new enhancements for the Year of the Family. The government launched a brand new financial support program. This specific program helps children of Emirati mothers working in the private sector.

Another new initiative directly supports the wives of Emirati citizens. These women must also work within the private sector to qualify.

The government also significantly expanded the existing children's allowance program. Families now face absolutely no cap on the number of eligible children. This specific change strongly promotes overall family stability across the emirates.
