The Community Development Authority (CDA) in Dubai and Union Co-operative Society (UCS) have signed a (MoU) aimed at serving Dubai’s low income families which receive social benefits.

The MoU is part of joint efforts to facilitate living standards of Emirati low income families in the emirate, said a CDA statement.

As per the MoU, the CDA will provide Union Co-operative Society with a list of candidates who can benefit from social support, and the UCS will then specify the support mechanisms that it will provide.

 “We are pleased to work with the Union Co-operative Society and contribute to the social and economic upliftment of the deserving individuals and families in need in the Emirate. We aim to support and serve low income citizens in order to enhance their quality of life,” Dr Matar observed.

“Together with CDA, we aim to support various community groups, as we are committed to support families with low income to raise their standard of living and secure their future,” Al Shamsi added.-TradeArabia News Service
