Arab Leadership and Government Excellence Program
The Mohammed Bin Rashid School of Government launched the Arab Leadership and Government Excellence Program at the second Government Summit held from 10 to 12 February. Designed for young leaders in the Arab world, the program focuses on providing leaders with skills in several areas including leadership and management to enable them to face modern challenges in an effective and sustainable manner.
The program comes in the context of the progress made by the UAE government entities which were ranked first at a world level in terms of government performance and social cohesion as per the international competency report published by the International Institute for Management Development, Switzerland for 2013 and the first rank for happy citizens in the Arab world in terms of welfare according to UN reports which makes the UAE Government a model for best practices in governance.
The program prepares leaders to deal with the multiple and diverse challenges of globalization and high competitiveness among institutions while it also contributes to honing the skills of leadership in the government sector in a variety of disciplines and fields.
