The UAE is continuing to focus on technology to improve public welfare and social development programmes.
A new government initiative is encouraging the development of blockchain-based apps for educational, social and recreational purposes.
Up to AED 60,000 are up for grabs in the competition that has been unveiled by the Ministry of Community Development, at GITEX.
