He said: “The efforts that have been made in preparing the UAE assessment manual reflect the high level of efficiency, maturity, and professionalism of the planning team and assessors in charge of the UAE manual.

This objective is being implemented by the Public Safety and Quick Intervention Department at the General Secretariat of the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior, which has undertaken the effort to implement the initiative that was devised after carefully reviewing the best international and local practices and leveraging local and foreign expertise in the country.”
Adding further, he said: “The assessment system was designed as a tool to ensure the readiness of civil defense stations in the UAE on the one hand; and as a local Emirati standard to measure the centers’ efficiency in providing and managing services on the other hand”.
In addition, he indicated that the assessment system is based on a number of main and secondary themes related to the centers’ work and activities. It contributes to identifying opportunities for improvement across civil defense centers, on both the individual and collective levels. “Such assessment represents a rich source of information and data regarding the various centers’ performance, to support the Directorate General of Civil Defense in making priority strategic and improvement decisions, based on concrete facts that were collected upon standard assessment of the centers’ performance,” he continued.
Towards the end of his speech, Colonel Al Mazroui, expressed his thanks to the Civil Defense Academy for its cooperation, as well as for the facilities it provided to ensure the success of the project.

The course also tackled the main and secondary themes of the assessment process, which include the three main criteria (the effective service delivery; administrative efficiency, planning and management), and explained how these criteria integrate to provide the structure of the integrated assessment plan of the UAE Manual.”
He also expressed his thanks to the Civil Defense Academy and all lecturing officers for their efforts in preparing the UAE Civil Defense Centers’ Assessment Manual, which reflect the high level of efficiency, professionalism, and maturity of the UAE Manual.
