Hamdan renames DSG after Mohammed

The Dubai School of Government has been renamed by Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, and Chairman of Dubai Executive Council, to "The "Mohammed bin Rashid School of Government".

Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed said: "The arts of government, government excellence and the making of government leaders have long been associated with the name of Vice-President and Prime Minister of UAE and Ruler of Dubai His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum. Efforts by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid culminated with the UAE's winning the first place globally in government efficiency."

"His Highness Sheikh Mohammed recently announced the UAE's shift from e-Government to Smart Government and to the next generation of future governments. He established a new school (approach) of government. We are proud to have his approach associated with his name so as to promote and consolidate this system of thought, not only locally, but also in the Arab region and globally."

"The UAE has become a destination for a large number of government delegations from different countries who come to benefit from our experience in government and public administration, to transfer the expertise in government excellence and to tap our achievements in improving performance and efficiency. All these areas bear the signature of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid and further consolidate the authenticity and uniqueness of his outstanding approach to public administration," Sheikh Hamdan bin Rashid added.

He emphasised that "Mohammed bin Rashid School of Government will soon become a major source of support for the development of government work, not only in the UAE, but throughout the Arab region as well as in many countries beyond the region. A number of countries have already started talks with the School on developing public administration leaderships. The School will soon launch programmes to further establish its stature as one of the region's best public management schools."
