THE NATIONAL IN-COUNTRY VALUE PROGRAM
National In-Country Value Program of – Ministry of Industry and Advanced Technology
In November 2017, an In-Country Value (ICV) program was announced for Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) Group Companies with the objectives of Emiratization, GDP Diversification and Strategic considerations. In 2019 and 2020, various Government and semi Government Companies have joined hands to broaden the ICV certification process as a Unified ICV program for Suppliers across various sectors in Abu Dhabi and the UAE (called participating entities).
In second half of 2021, the ICV Program has been introduced by Ministry of Industry and Advanced Technology (MOIAT) as a National In-Country Value Program (ICV). The program takes into consideration local expenditure on manufacturing, local products and services, local investments, and the hiring and development of Emiratis. It aims to support the national industry and redirect expenditure on procuring goods and services into the national economy.
