Dubai is set to establish a comprehensive Unified Population Registry following a new resolution issued by Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the Crown Prince of Dubai. The registry will provide a centralised, real-time database of all residents in the emirate, aimed at improving government planning and services. The "Unified Registry of the Population of the Emirate of Dubai" will be managed through the Dubai Data and Statistics Corporation's digital platform. This initiative will serve as the sole official source for population data, crucial for developing government strategies and policies. The registry will play a significant role in refining government services, enhancing future population forecasting, and guiding economic and social policy development. The Dubai Data and Statistics Establishment will oversee the registry's creation and maintenance, working closely with various government entities. Data security and integrity are key priorities, with the Dubai Cyber Security Center collaborating to ensure the protection of sensitive information. The centralized database is expected to streamline administrative processes and improve service delivery across multiple sectors. This move aligns with Dubai’s vision of leveraging data-driven solutions to foster efficient governance and urban development. The unified registry is anticipated to offer valuable insights and support strategic decision-making for the emirate’s future. ICA/Expat Media
