Dubai Crown Prince Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum has launched the ‘Barwa’ programme, a pioneering initiative by the Dubai Land Department and Community Development Authority aimed at supporting senior citizens and People of Determination in managing their real estate assets independently.
Unveiled under the slogan “You are valuable and should always be appreciated,” the Barwa programme is the first of its kind in the region. It offers a human-centred approach to property services, combining digital, advisory, and on-site support to enhance the quality of life and promote inclusion and social stability.
The initiative aligns with the Dubai Social Agenda 33 and Real Estate Sector Strategy 2033, focusing on accessible, sustainable services that cater to the diverse needs of its beneficiaries. Dedicated mobile teams, personal assistants, and digital platforms such as Al Kaitoob and Al Mersal ensure real estate transactions can be handled easily and efficiently from the comfort of beneficiaries’ homes.
A ceremony marking the launch included the signing of key cooperation agreements with public and private entities, including Harbour Real Estate, Al Ruwad, and service trustee centres Afnan and Al Tabou.
Officials from both DLD and CDA highlighted the programme’s role in protecting real estate rights, simplifying asset management, and reinforcing social cohesion. Specialised lounges, financial advisory, and educational workshops further complement the offering.
Barwa stands as a new model of collaborative governance in Dubai, designed to deliver real-world impact by placing dignity, independence, and social well-being at the heart of public service.
