Ministers and officials gathered this morning to come up with a national strategy that supports the objectives of the Year of Giving.
Speaking to the crowd in Dubai Arabian Horse Stud, Mohammed Al Gergawi, Minister of Cabinet Affairs and the Future, said the government will be looking to introduce laws and regulatory frameworks to monitor volunteering activities and encourage philanthropists.
"The future of nations today doesn't only depend on economic growth, but also humanitarian growth," said Al Gergawi.
He added that with 200,000 registered volunteers in 2017, the country needs to introduce regulatory framework to monitor their activities and measure the number of volunteering hours.
"We know that there are many doctors who volunteer in hospitals for example, but how many volunteers do we have? and which hospitals? we need to keep record of such information," said Al Gergawi.
He added that with many millionaires and businessmen in the country who contribute to the country's development with their charity work, different programs and frameworks need to be present to help them.
