ABU DHABI, 10th August, 2017 (WAM) -- The Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan Foundation, KF, has called on national associations to intensify their actions to support Emirati families in finding new sources of income and markets to sell their products, and to launch a national initiative to increase local production.

To achieve this goal, the KF has co-operated with the National Drilling Company, NDC, in organising an exhibition for Emirati families, with the aim of finding new markets for them to sell their products, through its partnership with national associations.

The KF stressed that such exhibitions, held in co-operation with national companies and associations, reflect its support for initiatives targeting Emirati families that are at the top its strategic priorities, based on its belief in the importance of a new initiative in promoting the culture of work and production, and the directives of the wise leadership.

The KF is seeking, through this new initiative, to encourage more UAE nationals to participate in the labour market, enabling them to effectively support their countrys economy and its development projects.
