The program is designed to enrich the knowledge component of public sector leaders in the Arab world and empower them to tackle current and potential challenges while leading their organizations with a strategic long-term vision.
 
Aimed at building a participant’s theoretical knowledge and practical skills, the program will also enhance communication within and among institutions, as well as introduce participants to best-in-class global government practices and those followed in the UAE. Furthermore, the program will host a number of field visits to government institutions to identify factors that contribute to the success and growth of organizations in the UAE.
 
The current edition of the Arab Leadership Program draws the participation of 23 candidates from countries such as Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Jordan and Iraq, in addition to the UAE.
