years to 2005 after a concerted effort to improve environmental protection. The ESI is measured by factors including natural resources, levels of pollution, and efforts and capacity to protect the environment. Through effective zoning and master planning, Abu Dhabi will continue to ensure that its industrial and economic expansion takes place without adversely impacting the environment in which its Nationals and residents live.
The protection of the environment is being given the utmost importance alongside economic growth. To this end, the Environment Agency (EAD) was established in 1996 as an independent, publicly-financed entity with a mandate to help the Government formulate and implement environmental legislation.
penetration rates in line with desired benchmarks, from 11% to around 60%. In particular, Abu Dhabi aims to focus on increasing the penetration and speed of broadband connections.
Further spending on ICT will be encouraged to reach levels similar to that of New Zealand or Singapore, ensuring residents and businesses are plugged into the global network and are able to communicate and do business freely and efficiently with partners around the world.
Telecommunications developments are facilitating the growing role played by the international trade in services in the share of the global economy. It is vital for Abu Dhabi’s involvement in this knowledge economy of the future that it has a world class telecommunications infrastructure and a population skilled in ICT techniques.

Abu Dhabi Economic Vision 2030 Objectives
Abu Dhabi will develop world-class infrastructure that is not only capable of supporting and sustaining the anticipated levels of
economic growth, but acts as a catalyst for that growth.
Objective 21
Enhanced Energy Security to Meet Future Demand
In meeting future demand, Abu Dhabi will benefit from the liberali- sation and deregulation of some elements of its utilities sector (mainly power generation), which is key to ensuring robust, demand-sensitive power and water provision. It is also the most effective
way to attract private capital and international
expertise. The govern- ment affiliated regulatory body ADWEA was estab- lished in 1998, and has overseen the unbundling
of the Government’s power and water assets over the past decade to create the most libera- lised utilities sector in the
region.
Objective 22
Efficient and Safe Transport Infrastructure
Abu Dhabi will build a world-class public transport system to en- sure that residents have
choices when it comes to getting around the main cities (e.g. Al-Ain, Abu Dhabi) and between
the main tourism, busi- ness and residential centres in Abu Dhabi. Work is also underway to improve and promote
public transport across the Emirate. Plans are being discussed for a city metro-system in Abu Dhabi as well as an Emir- ate-wide rail network and
transport links to islands that are being developed
as tourist resorts.
Objective 23
Efficient ICT Infrastructure and Increased Adoption Further spending on ICT will be encouragedto reach levels similar to that of New Zealand or Singapore, ensuring residents and businesses
are plugged into the global network and are able to communicate and
do business freely and efficiently with partners
around the world.
Objective 24
Environmental Sustainability
Abu Dhabi recognises the need to balance economic growth with environmental sustainability in order to ensure long-term sustain- ability and preserve the quality of life of its citizens.
The Emirate is therefore enforcing compliance with
environmental legislation and creating incentives for people and businesses to respect the environment.

opportunity to increase the effectiveness of its workforce by bringing more Nationals into the job market - a process that is crucial to the future economic security of the Emirate.
Key sectors such as energy, finance, trade and manufacturing have been identified for their strategic importance and as the new generation of young Nationals reaches maturity, the goal is for them to become more prevalent in such sectors in coming years.
Already key indicators are showing signs of improvement. The number of dependents relying on the income of a single National employee has fallen from 4.4 in 1985 to 3.6 in 2006, suggesting that more Nationals are taking up employment to provide income for themselves and their families. A number of government initiatives targeting students, the unemployed and women are being implemented to ensure this trend continues. Women currently make up just 14% of the total workforce, representing a significant and underused human resource. However National women are highly educated and at present there are more women in higher education than men – encouraging them into the workforce will therefore offer major dividends. Efforts to boost overall National participation in the workforce will receive a significant boost from efforts to encourage women to take on a heightened economic role. Additionally, expanding regional development will bring about increasing opportunities for women in rural areas. Although unemployment has always remained
low, Abu Dhabi can take advantage of a number of opportunities to increase the efficiency and productivity of its workforce in the years ahead. As an increasing number of Nationals enter the workforce, there is room for far greater female and student employment.
Additionally, better links between employers and educational establishments will guarantee that Nationals have the skills required to match the needs of a growing economy.
Employers will also be encouraged to invest in employee training and will benefit from industry- focused studies addressing productivity issues in a range of economic sectors.
