He noted that a series of training programs will be implemented in the coming period, each program including multiple training modules in various fields such as public administration, e-government, human resources management, and others.

At the closing ceremony, which was attended by members of the House of Representatives, Ali Hussein, and the Shura Council, Salman Awfan, as well as the Deputy Assistant for Planning, Ali Al-Mutamayez, and the Undersecretary for Training and Evaluation at the Ministry of Civil Service, Al-Azzi Al-Hattami, he emphasized the importance of the program in improving the performance of the offices, which will positively impact the ministry’s overall performance.
