DUBAI: The ninth edition of Dubai Forum for Government Best Practices 2016, organised by Executive Council’s Dubai Government Excellence Programme (DGEP) concluded here yesterday.
The events that highlighted exceptional experiences and showcased leading initiatives were held under the patronage of Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, UAE Vice-President, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai.
“We are grateful that the forum achieved our desired goals and witnessed unprecedented success and remarkable attendance. We witnessed the vital role this Forum plays in supporting excellence and development plans pursued by government entities in Dubai,” said Abdullah Abdul Rahman Al Shaibani, the Secretary General of the Executive Council of the Emirate of Dubai.
“The Dubai Forum for Government Best Practices 2016 witnessed many distinctive events, such as a number of leading global and local experiences that represent new models to follow in government work and youth empowerment, so they can contribute in building the future of the country. These will also transform creative ideas into efforts to achieve a prosperous and bright future. Hence, the Forum is a global platform for excellence, and a beacon of creative ideas in government performance” he added.
Dr Ahmed Abdullah Al Nuseirat, the General Coordinator, DGEP, stressed that each year the Forum offers new perspectives and acts as a platform to show Dubai’s capability in reaching the highest levels of excellence in all sectors of the government.
“This year, the Forum came to establish two major ideas: the power of youth and accelerated transition into the future. Both were linked to realise the government of the Future. This is in synergy with Dubai’s Future Accelerators initiative launched recently, now a focal point in business. The aim is to maintain alignment with the unique development and progress that Dubai anticipates in the coming period.”
