The programme will include Emiratis as well as expatriate residents and visitors. It seeks to encourage government and private
sectors to launch, recommend and adopt initiatives in that regard.
Some of the initiatives are:
• Appointing CEOs for happiness and positivity at all government bodies

• Allocating time for happiness-related programmes and activities at the federal government
• Establishing offices for happiness and positivity
• Transforming customer service centres into customer happiness centres
