Hamdan bin Mohammed launches ‘Barwa’ programme

Empowering senior citizens and people of determination

Barwa is a socially driven real estate programme focused on enhancing the well-being of senior citizens and People of Determination in Dubai. It helps them manage their properties more easily and independently, while also supporting family stability and social inclusion through customised real estate solutions.

A new model of government services

The initiative delivers a human-centred approach to public service, combining digital, in-person, and advisory support tailored to the needs of its target groups. It supports the goals of Dubai Social Agenda 33 and the Real Estate Strategy 2033, focusing on equality, accessibility, and quality of life.

Strategic launch and partnerships

The programme was launched at Dubai Land Department headquarters, where cooperation agreements were signed between DLD, CDA, and several private real estate firms. Service trustee centres will also support the programme by providing on-the-ground assistance to beneficiaries.

Leadership statements

Eng. Marwan Bin Ghalita said Barwa reflects DLD’s commitment to providing inclusive services and simplifying property management for key social groups. Hessa Bint Essa Buhumaid emphasized the importance of collaboration between government bodies to ensure services preserve dignity and promote independence.

Integrated service pillars

Barwa’s services include mobile support teams who visit homes, digital platforms for remote property management, and personalised advisory for real estate investments. Educational workshops help users better understand property rights and financial decisions.

Community-focused facilities and partnerships

Dedicated reception lounges provide comfortable in-person support. Public-private cooperation delivers essential property services like maintenance and leasing at reduced rates tailored to users’ needs.

Data integration and social impact

A shared data system between DLD and CDA enables seamless, personalised service. This ensures that beneficiaries receive continuous support that protects their property rights and improves their quality of life.

A human-centred vision for real estate

Barwa positions Dubai as a leader in real estate innovation that prioritises human well-being. The initiative showcases how government and community can work together to build an inclusive, resilient society.
