Dubai Community Participation Policy supports the Dubai Social Agenda 33 by increasing community participation in shaping policy, legislation and government services. It further aims to improve the quality of services by aligning them more closely with the community needs and expectations, which will be identified through enhanced public engagement.

The policy was developed in collaboration between the General Secretariat of the Executive Council of Dubai, Dubai Digital Authority, the Supreme Legislation Committee, and Department of Finance. The Community Engagement Policy is based on the principles of inclusivity, empowerment, sustainability, cooperation and transparency.
