UAE Cabinet

What UAE Cabinet does

The UAE Cabinet is the executive authority of the United Arab Emirates federation, established on December 2, 1971. It exercises constitutional authority over all internal and external federal affairs under the supervision of the President (Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan) and the Federal Supreme Council. The Cabinet is led by Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum (in office since 2006) and comprises 24 members: one Prime Minister, five Deputy Prime Ministers, and ministers overseeing federal portfolios. It directs the work of 24 federal ministries and entities, including the General Secretariat of the Cabinet, the Prime Minister's Office, the UAE Government Media Office, the Federal Competitiveness and Statistics Centre, the Government Experience Exchange Office, the Ministry of Cabinet Affairs, the Ministerial Council for Artificial Intelligence and Development, and the newly established Federal Authority for Artificial Intelligence and Data.

The Cabinet's product surface centers on digital government service delivery rather than commercial offerings. Core products include the UAE Cabinet official website, the UAE Legislation Platform (containing 480+ federal laws across 17 thematic categories), the Agentic AI Government Services initiative (targeting 50% of public services by 2028), the Federal Authority for Artificial Intelligence and Data (consolidating AI, data governance, and digital government under unified leadership), and supporting apps such as AjmanOne for AI-powered trade licence renewal. The technology stack is anchored in agentic AI systems capable of autonomous multi-step task execution across multiple departments, with proactive headless workflow models that notify customers before licence expiry and coordinate approvals without continuous user input. A flagship training program targets 80,000 federal employees in agentic AI capabilities, delivered in partnership with UAE universities and global technology companies.

The Cabinet operates as a government-funded entity rather than a revenue-generating business. It is financed through the national budget and delivers services directly to citizens, residents, businesses, and investors through a hybrid model combining federal ministries, digital platforms (UAE Government, Digital Dubai), and mobile applications. Its strategic agenda is structured around three national visions — We The UAE 2031, UAE Centennial 2071, and the National Space Strategy 2031 (valued at AED 44 billion+) — and is executed through 120+ international agreements and MOUs spanning economic partnerships (Nigeria, Philippines, DRC), investment agreements (Canada, Palau, Dominica, Trinidad and Tobago), and financial instruments such as the AED 20 billion currency swap with Bahrain.
