UAE Launches “Unified Emirates Numbers” Project to Revolutionize National Data Governance

 In a significant step towards enhancing the nation’s statistical and data governance capabilities, the UAE government has announced the launch of the “Unified Emirates Numbers” project. The initiative was unveiled in the presence of His Highness Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Presidential Affairs, and with the active participation of local government entities across the Emirates.



The Unified Emirates Numbers project reflects the UAE’s forward-thinking approach to national data management and underscores its commitment to innovation, integration, and future readiness.

A Milestone in National Data Governance

The initiative aims to establish a comprehensive and standardized national statistical system that consolidates data from various government entities under a unified framework. By doing so, it will:

  • Enhance data accuracy and accessibility across sectors.
  • Facilitate better policy-making and resource allocation based on reliable, real-time data.
  • Promote collaboration between federal and local government entities.

His Highness Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan emphasized the importance of this initiative in achieving the UAE’s long-term goals:

"The Unified Emirates Numbers project is a cornerstone for building a data-driven society. It reflects our vision to strengthen governance, ensure transparency, and harness the power of data for sustainable development and future prosperity."

Strengthening the National Statistical System

The project is expected to:

  • Integrate diverse datasets to provide a unified perspective on socio-economic indicators.
  • Support government initiatives such as Vision 2071 and the National Agenda for global competitiveness.
  • Enhance data-driven decision-making across all levels of governance.

Local Government Participation

The collaboration between federal authorities and local governments was a highlight of the launch event. Representatives from all seven emirates reaffirmed their commitment to leveraging the Unified Emirates Numbers to achieve shared national objectives.

A Step Towards Global Competitiveness

By modernizing its data infrastructure, the UAE positions itself as a global leader in data governance and innovation. The initiative aligns with the country’s ambition to drive digital transformation and foster a knowledge-based economy.

As the UAE continues to embrace cutting-edge technologies and methodologies, the Unified Emirates Numbers project marks a transformative milestone in the nation’s journey toward sustainable growth and development.
