Accession Day: 8 initiatives that Sheikh Mohammed launched
This year is the 14th anniversary of Sheikh Mohammed's Accession Day.
Each year, Sheikh Mohammed uses the day to mark something meaningful or launch a major initiative. For this year’s Accession Day, he launched a document called ‘4th of January Document’ that established a new council called the ‘Dubai Council’.
The council will take the lead in six key sectors: Economy, citizens’ services, governmental development, infrastructure, justice and security, and health and knowledge. Here are the other initiatives he has launched in the past:
2011: Orphans, we care for you: He dedicated the fifth anniversary of his accession as Dubai Ruler to orphans. He urged residents to contribute to their cause.
2012: Mothers, we salute you: Residents responded in droves to his call to appreciate their mothers
2013: Thank you, workers: He directed all celebrations to honour the country’s labourers — a group, he said, plays an active role in society
2014: Thank you, Khalifa: The campaign aimed to express thanks and appreciation to the President, His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan
2015: Thank you, our armed forces: Sheikh Mohammed asked individuals and organisations to share a message of thanks and support to the brave sons and daughters of the UAE
2017: UAE Food Bank launched: It is a non-profit charitable organisation committed to distributing food to those in need while eliminating food waste.
2018: Thank you, Mohamed bin Zayed: The campaign was launched to express gratitude to His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces
