The forum seeks to present plans and developments in regards to implementing the business continuity program at government entities, in addition to discussing future measures to further implement the program. It aims at continuously seeking to reinforce business continuity as an institutional culture and at making it an essential component of various work environments within the Abu Dhabi Government, in addition to enhancing the capabilities and skills of employees at such entities, enabling them to apply best industry practices in the fields of service and administration. His Excellency Major General Mohammed Khalfan Al Rumaithi confirmed in his opening speech at the forum the need to promote awareness of the business continuity program within government entities. He also stressed the importance of implementing the program s outputs through adopted mechanisms and according to the established plans, as well using all supporting tools available to reach best results in the business. The successive events and changes we see in the world push us to increase our institutional preparedness for various scenarios and circumstances. We must be ready to preserve the development achievements established by the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan May his soul rest in peace - and consolidated by His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayeh Al Nahyan, President of the United Arab Emirates. Therefore, it has been of great importance to develop programs that support and reinforce development plans as well as coordinate roles between various entities, thereby allowing us to build institutional authorities able to fulfill their commitments and provide their vital services to the community

3 in times of emergencies, crises and, Allah forbid, disasters, His Excellency Major General Mohammed Khalfan Al Rumaithi confirmed. His Excellency commended the guidelines of His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, Deputy Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces, to exhort all efforts to support and develop work efficiency within the Abu Dhabi Government. Such guidelines call on establishing foundations and programs capable of continuously improving the work outputs of various sectors, including outputs related to business continuity. He added that the importance of the program consisted in the fact that it was a practical application for the preservation of achieved outputs at the Emirate and that it included a comprehensive notion on the outlook of the coming stages of growth and development in various sectors. His Excellency then reiterated that the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Hazza bin Zayed Al Nahyan, National Security Advisor and Vice Chairman of the Abu Dhabi Executive Council, of the forum reflected the determination of the leadership to bring the program to a success and to reach the outputs capable of promoting complementarity between government entities under various circumstances. He also stressed the importance of moving forward in the business continuity program. At the end of his opening speech, His Excellency Mohammed Khalfan Al Rumaithi announced the establishment of the Risk Management and Business continuity award as part of the categories for the Abu Dhabi Award for Excellence in Government Performance. The award aims at implementing best industry practices, and enabling entities to evaluate, manage and control risks while maintaining the provision of their services and performing vital tasks during emergencies.

4 This gesture reflects the importance of government entities implementing risk management and confirms the continuous effort to achieve the desired goals in order to reinforce business continuity as an institutional culture, making it an essential component of various work environments within the Abu Dhabi Government, in addition to developing the capabilities and skills of employees to apply the best practices in the fields of service and administration. His Highness Sheikh Hazza bin Zayed Al Nahyan and his fellow participants watched a film describing developments, prominent achievements and ongoing key projects taking place in Abu Dhabi. The screening was followed by presentations from several government entities exposing their plans to implement the business continuity program. These presentations included key objectives set to face risks expected during emergencies as well as the responsibilities undertaken by the entities in guaranteeing the continuous availability of services under all circumstances as to guarantee a constant flow of vital services during such conditions. Representatives of the Abu Dhabi Food Control Authority, the Emirates Nuclear Energy Corporation, the Abu Dhabi Health Services company, Abu Dhabi Airports Company and Etihad Airways discussed their programs and implementation mechanisms for the business continuity program. These included work steps and timeframes for the execution of required stages in addition to coordination with partners, work mechanisms for business continuity teams and their tasks, their challenges, and the most important recommendations to overcome obtsacles. The participating entities voiced their commitment to the timeframe set for executing the program as to guarantee the implementation of best practices in this vital field. They also stressed the importance of training and enabling national cadres working at these entities on this subject. in addition to providing them with the necessary support to play a prominent role in reinforcing the development the capital is

5 witnessing at various levels. They also encouraged the education and training of institution employees regarding the implementation of the program s outputs. His Excellency Khaled bin Shaiban Al Muhairi, Director of the Business continuity Directorate at the General Secretariat of the Executive Council gave a closing speech in which he thanked His Highness Sheikh Hazza bin Zayed for his patronage and attendance. He also confirmed that he would be contributing to the establishment of a comprehensive notion of the future of risk management in Abu Dhabi, to increasing awareness about the managing business continuity, and to drawing a clearer picture of the next phase of development that Abu Dhabi will witness in its various sectors, thanks to the policy of economic diversification adopted by the government as a key axis in achieving the Emirate s vision. He added that the determination set forth by government entities in implementing the business continuity program has led to overcoming many obstacles through joint efforts and a continuous aim to achieve complementarity in government performance. He explained that this would lead to large scale opportunities in developing the program and fulfilling its objects. In order to achieve this for example, the General Secretariat of the Executive Council has established a number of supporting foundations to support spreading a culture of business continuity at government entities. Such foundations include educating employees and training them on implementing the program s outputs in their daily tasks. Employees may achieve this by following and applying as best as possible the set standards and the guideline (AE /HSC/ NCEMA 7000:2012) adopted by the National Emergency Crisis and Disasters Management Authority. Business continuity at establishments and vital facilities is considered as one of the most significant strategies the Abu Dhabi Government is working on planning for, in addition to working on preparing employees by taking the appropriate measures and working according to a specific mechanism in order to

6 alleviate the effects of any emergency, crisis or disaster that may affect the course of business at these establishments. - the end - Office of Government Communication accounts: Youtube: OGC Abu Dhabi A Press Release By the Office of Government Communication / GSEC
