ABU DHABI, July 23 / WAM / The Department of Government Empowerment – Abu Dhabi announced the launch of the “Policy Development” program supported by artificial intelligence to enhance the capabilities of government leaders in the field of public policies, in a way that supports more effective decision-making, more efficient implementation, more accurate impact assessment, and enhances the integration of government work to achieve the best results for all, within the framework of the Abu Dhabi government’s commitment to enhancing the government sector’s readiness for the future.
The department designed the “Policy Development” program supported by artificial intelligence specifically for managers and executives who play strategic and operational roles in designing, implementing and supervising policies.
The department partnered with the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy in Singapore, one of the world’s leading colleges in this field, to implement the program and provide government leaders with advanced skills that enhance the quality of government policies and contribute to transforming knowledge into institutional practices with a sustainable impact.
His Excellency Dr. Yasser Al Naqbi, Director General of the Government Academy at the Department of Government Empowerment – Abu Dhabi, said: “Our cadres are the main engine of government excellence, and this program embodies our commitment to investing in government leaders and enabling them to develop more effective and responsive policies, which reflects the quality of government services centered on people, and enhances the efficiency of government performance in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi.”
He added: “Through this pioneering program, we seek to improve government performance by building the skills, systems and capabilities necessary for the future, preparing leaders capable of translating strategies into practical procedures and measurable results, and strengthening a government system that is more interconnected and ready to deal with future changes.”
Participants develop practical skills that help them identify policy challenges more accurately, choose appropriate tools, address gaps in the development and application stages, interact with relevant parties efficiently, and apply the best international practices and frameworks in this field in line with Abu Dhabi’s vision.
The intensive training in Singapore is one of the main axes of the program, as it allows participants to have direct access to pioneering international experiences and practical applications in policy development.
This training includes workshops, educational trips, group projects, lectures, and sessions with guest speakers covering the areas of impact assessment, behavioral insights, policy communication, monitoring and evaluation, and transformational governance, in addition to introducing trainees to the “Smart Nation” experience adopted by Singapore, and the applications of artificial intelligence in government transformation.
The program supports the efforts of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi in building a government system that is more prepared for the future, through the development of flexible services and policies, based on data and evidence, and enables leaders to adopt a forward-looking governance approach by proactively identifying emerging challenges and enhancing joint action within an interconnected and effective government system.
By launching this program, the Department affirmed its firm commitment to building capabilities and professional development within the Abu Dhabi government system, and establishing a culture of continuous learning, enabling government leaders to keep pace with the emirate’s future ambitions and transform policies into practical practices that reflect positively on society.
