The Abu Dhabi Department of Community Development (DCD) has launched the fourth edition of its "Wyakom" initiative, reinforcing its role as a leading platform for public participation in social development. This year's edition specifically calls for innovative and sustainable ideas that address challenges faced by youth, structured around three core pillars: Growth, Prosperity, and Leadership. The initiative aims to enhance young people's financial, social, and leadership skills while promoting community engagement.
To streamline participation, the DCD has introduced a newly updated website that simplifies the process of submitting ideas and allows for direct interaction with its team. Since its inception, Wyakom has received over 530 ideas from the community, many of which have been developed into real-world projects that improve the quality of life in the emirate. The department emphasizes that every idea is treated as a potential catalyst for social progress.
The submission deadline for ideas is November 11, 2025. Selected winners will be announced later this year and will receive comprehensive support, including funding, mentorship, and development resources to bring their concepts to life. This initiative underscores Abu Dhabi's ongoing commitment to fostering a culture of innovation and turning community values into tangible impact.
