The Department of Finance in Ajman has launched a new community initiative called the “Financial Empowerment” programme to improve financial literacy and support financial stability across the emirate.
The programme targets different groups in society, including senior citizens, people of determination, and students from schools and universities. It aims to simplify financial concepts and help individuals develop better financial planning skills so they can make informed decisions in their daily lives.
As part of the initiative, the department organised a “Financial Literacy” workshop in collaboration with the Seniors Happiness Centre. The session included open discussions and experience-sharing, creating an interactive environment that helped participants understand practical financial management techniques.
The workshop focused on key areas such as managing personal finances, planning expenses, and using government digital financial services effectively. These efforts are designed to promote financial independence and strengthen social stability within the community.
This workshop is part of a broader set of activities under the Financial Empowerment programme, which aims to encourage responsible financial behaviour and improve overall quality of life in Ajman.
Marwan Ahmed Al Ali, Director-General of the department, said that financial awareness has become increasingly important due to rapid economic changes. He highlighted that financial literacy plays a crucial role in ensuring stability for individuals and families.
He added that the programme aligns with Ajman Vision 2030, which focuses on building a prosperous, inclusive, and well-informed society. The initiative also reflects the department’s commitment to turning financial knowledge into practical everyday skills.
The Financial Empowerment programme represents a step forward in preparing the community to handle financial challenges while promoting sustainable and responsible financial practices.
