What happened
The UAE Ministry of Finance and the Federal Authority for Government Human Resources have partnered to launch a digital transformation project for federal resource planning systems, the finance ministry announced on 1 November 2026.
Resource planning systems are software platforms that organisations use to manage functions such as finance and staffing in one place. The announcement title confirms the two bodies are working together on the project for the federal government’s systems.
