Dubai Unveils Unified Population Registry for Real-Time Data
Dubai is set to introduce a new unified population registry to centralize and streamline resident data across the emirate. Announced by Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Deputy Prime Minister, this initiative aims to enhance government efficiency and planning.
Centralized Data for Better Planning
The "Unified Registry of the Population of the Emirate of Dubai" will be hosted on the Dubai Data and Statistics Corporation's digital platform. This centralized database will serve as the official source of population information for the emirate. It will be crucial for developing government strategies, policies, and improving public services.
Enhanced Government Services and Future Forecasting
The new registry will aid in the preparation of government plans and enable better forecasting for future population trends. This will assist in shaping economic and social policies effectively.
Managed by Dubai Data and Statistics Establishment
The Dubai Data and Statistics Establishment will oversee the registry, ensuring accurate data collection and coordination with other government entities. They will also handle the registry’s design, updates, and data security, working closely with the Dubai Cyber Security Center to protect information.
