Document background
The Government Memorandum Of Understanding (MOU) is a crucial instrument in UAE public administration, used to formalize cooperation between government entities while maintaining administrative flexibility. It serves as a preliminary or supporting document to establish working relationships between departments, ministries, or authorities under UAE jurisdiction. This document type is particularly relevant when government entities need to collaborate on projects, share resources, or coordinate activities without creating legally binding obligations. The MOU follows UAE federal protocols and typically includes provisions for scope, implementation, and coordination mechanisms while respecting the hierarchical nature of UAE government structures. It is commonly used for inter-departmental initiatives, cross-emirate cooperation, and public sector partnerships.
