The initiative aims to empower governments, enhance their capabilities, and prepare their leadership for the demands of the future. Since its inception, the programme has established strong partnerships with governments in 45 countries worldwide and six Arab and international organisations, further contributing to realising the UAE's vision for international relations based on cooperation and constructive partnerships in shaping the future.
