Ahmed Al Louz, Acting Director of Knowledge Management Department, pointed out that the participations in various local and international forums were part of the Municipality’s endeavor to be a leader in the race for excellence and achievements.
“The highest participation was in the Environment, Health and Safety Sector, which competed in 40 awards, followed by the Environment and Public Health Services in 22 awards. The Engineering and Planning Sector and the Corporate Support Sector participated in nine local awards and then the Director General Sector, which participated in four.

Al Louz added that the Corporate Support Sector was the most winning sector with four local awards followed by the Environment, Health and Safety Sector winning two prizes and the rest of the sectors won one local award each.
“Among the departments that participated and won in the most number of local and international awards was the Waste Management Department,” he said.
“Knowledge Management Department is keen to encourage the various organizational units in the Municipality to participate in the awards, whether local or international, but with a condition that the awarding bodies should have a great deal of reputation and credibility. Dubai Municipality has been keen to develop standards that measure up to the level of the award that each department wishes to achieve. We agree with the participation based on these criteria and if the required standards are not met we do not encourage any participation,” said Al Louz.
He added that the aim of encouraging the participation in these awards is to achieve local and international leadership for Dubai Municipality, which is a strategic objective that all organizational units seek to achieve by competing in local and international forums to evaluate Dubai Municipality’s standards with the level of other organizations with global standards, and to seek to know how through these partnerships we can complete the lack of requirements to achieve this leadership.
