As part of his personal drive to provide greater opportunities for skills development for Bahrain’s youth, His Royal Highness established the Crown Prince International Scholarship Program (CPISP) in 1999. The Program provides Bahrain's most gifted and talented young people the opportunity to learn at the finest international educational institutions. Additionally, it provides its scholars with career development support and training, equipping them with the necessary tools to become effective decision-makers who contribute to Bahrain's development, both nationally and globally.
In line with his vision to improve delivery across the civil service, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Prime Minister launched a Program where civil servants can participate in a one-year placement at the Prime Minister’s Office. During this placement, civil servants are offered training designed to improve their research, analysis, and leadership skills, enhancing their capabilities as government leaders.
The Government Forum brings together ministers and officials from across government to explore ways to deliver greater sustainable diversification and economic prosperity for the Kingdom.
