Executive President’s Message

Guided by the wisdom and vision of its leadership, the UAE is moving forward with its journey, striving towards excellence and leadership, setting sound plans for the future, and creating solutions rooted in science, knowledge, and experiences. The Emirates has given the world an outstanding example of development across various fields, and its success story now inspires people and governments around the globe.

The UAE’s remarkable achievements were made possible by its philosophy that aims, first and foremost, to strengthen human resources – and especially, leaders – and empower them to achieve strategic objectives. Without a qualified workforce, capable of bringing about real change, the UAE would not have achieved its advanced ranking on global competitiveness indicators. With this philosophy in mind, and under the directives of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE, Ruler of Dubai, the Mohammed Bin Rashid School of Government (MBRSG) embodies the UAE’s development model and communicates it to the world.

Perhaps the most notable part of that model is moulding government leaders and empowering the minds of the future to enhance government administration and advance the sustainable development process in the UAE, the region, and the world, all the while enhancing the country’s reputation and promoting its development-driven vision in its regional and global environment.

MBRSG implements its innovative methods, guided by the vision of H.H. Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum. We strive to develop our systems to improve public administration and enhance government performance. And to that end, MBRSG works to document H.H.’s mindset as a guideline to embracing strict principles for government administration, and kickstarting a new phase of development and prosperity across all sectors.

The Mohammed Bin Rashid School of Government has developed a set of tools that enable it to better support governments around the world in their efforts to create innovative policies that improve government performance and find practical solutions to all challenges. With a distinguished team of researchers and academics, MBRSG has built an integrated system for research and development in the field of public policy, focusing on the applied, practical side to support government operations in the UAE and provide an effective, forward-looking platform for formulating modern government policies that keep pace with local, regional, and global developments in the future.

As part of our new and improved approach, we are committed to providing a unique academic experience that empowers leaders, equips them with pioneering skills, and enables them to play a greater role in achieving the strategic and development goals of their respective governments. We offer them a vibrant and sophisticated academic community, pioneering academic programmes, and unique content based on practical experiences and implementation.

With our policy of openness to all, the Mohammed Bin Rashid School of Government is pleased to cooperate closely with our various partners in the UAE, the region, and the world. We believe that partnership is the key to finding the right solutions, and a powerful means to accomplish ambitious objectives for development and prosperity, and to shape a better future for coming generations.
