The UAE is one of the most prominent donor countries globally. On Monday, President HH Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed issued a federal decree to establish the UAE Aid Agency . The entity shall have full legal capacity to act. The aid agency's responsibilities include planning, executing and monitoring official government support, particularly focusing on disaster relief, early recovery programmes, post-conflict stabilisation, and capacity building programmes. This is a major development by the UAE government to help address the needs of those in need, irrespective of the people's location or identity. From the beginning of 2021 to mid-2022, the country has dispatched more than $3.5 billion in foreign assistance. HH Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed, Deputy Prime Minister and Chairman of the Presidential Court, noted: "This approach reflects the UAE's dedication to addressing humanitarian challenges and forstering sustainable development globally."
