We wish them the very best as they start a new chapter of their lives – a chapter that will see many of them improving the working environment of the government and establishing new and productive approaches to government action based on innovation, creativity and unconventional ideas. It is by empowering them to achieve such goals that we can achieve economic breakthroughs that deliver state leadership in all fields.”
“Mohammed bin Rashid School of Government is a key pillar in the development of the government and we continue to lay the groundwork for developing future leaders through our educational programmes.
