This expansion aligns with the UAE’s vision to support sustainable development and address humanitarian challenges worldwide.
Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Vice President and Deputy Prime Minister, highlighted the new agency's roots in the UAE’s longstanding commitment to philanthropy, inspired by the legacy of the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan.

Sheikh Theyab bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan emphasized the strategic approach of the agency in boosting the effectiveness of the UAE’s international aid programs, reinforcing the nation’s leadership in humanitarian outreach.
Since its founding, the UAE has contributed over $98 billion (AED 360 billion) in aid, impacting over one billion people globally. This new agency is poised to enhance those efforts further, cementing the UAE’s place as a leader in humanitarian aid and development.
