Mohammed bin Rashid School of Government

The leaders of tomorrow are our focus and the foundation of the future. Our duty is to advance their skills and knowledge to continually enhance the quality of public administration."   HH Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum
The overall design and implementation of training programs is built on the foundation of scientific thought and is inspired by the reality of Arab public administration and with a view to addressing the issues and helping future leaders meet the challenges facing public administration in various parts of the Arab world.The School also organizes international and regional conferences and specialized workshops, and holds forums to facilitate the exchange of ideas and knowledge between Arab region and the world.
With increased access to vast amounts of knowledge, and with the cultural openness and technological advancements of the twenty-first century, the world has become a small village where the politics and economies of states affect one another.  Dubai is no exception with the city"s name becoming synonymous with globalization. It is with this in mind that Mohammed Bin Rashid School of Government strives to embed the guidelines set forth by the UAE and to support the vision of its leaders for national growth. By preparing, qualifying and empowering tomorrow"s leaders, and by strengthening government capacity in the UAE and the Arab world, our School aims to promote effective public policy through focusing on applied research and engaging the public and private sectors in the development process.
Over the nine years since its establishment in 2005 under the name Dubai School of Government, the School has proved its importance as a unique role model for academic institutions. The School works in close partnership with UAE government departments, combining applied research, training and education programs, and provides a platform for knowledge exchange.
In order to achieve its mission, the School adheres to global best practices developed in collaboration with US-based Harvard Kennedy School that prepares leaders for democratic societies and contributes to finding holistic solutions to public problems. Such collaborations have enabled MBRSG to become the first research and teaching institution focused on governance and public policy in the Arab world. In this context, the School has taken on the task of disseminating the UAE’s exceptional experience in governance and implementing the vision of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai.
