Vice President Faisal Naseem has launched the "Maldives Leadership Program" at the World Government Summit 2023, currently underway in Madinat Jumeirah in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE).

The Vice President is in the UAE to attend the summit held from February 13-15, 2023.

The "Maldives Leadership Program" is the first training program launched as part of the UAE's Government Experience Exchange Programme (GEEP). The training program targets Maldives' government employees as part of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed between the UAE and the Maldives. It is designed around the critical aspects of learning and innovation for the government's continued growth and success in better serving the people.

After launching the program, the Vice President stated that incorporating technology and innovation into government service delivery would increase efficiency, transparency, and accountability. He emphasized the importance of continually investing in learning and innovation to stay ahead of technological advancements.

Highlighting the "Executive Enhancement and Enrichment Program (EEEP)" launch in 2021, the Vice President stated that enhancing opportunities for learning and development for government staff had been a priority for the administration.

The EEEP is a two-year joint initiative by the Public Service Training Unit of the President's Office and the Civil Service Training Institute of the Maldives to improve the skills and capabilities of political and executive staff in management positions in the civil service.
