H.E. Marwan bin Ghalita, Acting Director General of Dubai Municipality, reaffirmed the Municipality’s commitment to
developing and training leadership cadres to ensure Dubai remains at the forefront of government innovation and service

excellence.

He said: “Developing and training young leadership talent is a priority for Dubai Municipality, ensuring future leaders are
equipped with the necessary skills to manage government operations with agility and strategic foresight. Our goal is to
prepare outstanding municipal leaders who think innovatively, embrace responsibility, and contribute to Dubai’s status as a

pioneering, attractive, and high-quality city. This initiative strengthens Dubai’s leadership and global competitiveness by
empowering our workforce with exceptional knowledge and skills.’

H.E. Dr Ali bin Sebaa Al Marri, CEO of MBRSG, commended the strategic partnership between Dubai Municipality and
MBRSG, highlighting its role in building national leadership capacity and promoting continuous learning and innovation.

He added: “Today, we celebrate the graduation of the first and second cohorts of the Leadership Empowerment Programme
in collaboration with Dubai Municipality. This partnership underscores our shared commitment to equipping government

leaders with the skills needed to navigate complex challenges, drive innovation, and sustain excellence in governance. Our
training programmes focus on fostering a culture of leadership and adaptability, in line with the UAE’s strategic vision for
outstanding government performance.”

The Leadership Empowerment Diploma was designed to develop high-impact leadership and management skills, covering

key areas such as developing skills in innovation and creativity, excellence in execution, organisational understanding,
leading and inspiring others, supporting and enabling change, as well as foreseeing the future. Participants were also trained
to build a leadership culture in the workplace by fostering an environment that encourages collaboration, responsibility, and
strategic decision-making.

The programme was structured into three phases, each addressing critical aspects of leadership development. The first

phase focused on building a strong foundation in leadership and management, equipping participants with the latest global
best practices in governance and organisational strategy. The second phase provided exposure to local and international

leadership strategies, incorporating training on media engagement and public relations to strengthen leaders’ communication
and visibility. The third and final phase aimed to develop elite leadership competencies, allowing participants to apply their
knowledge in real-world scenarios and undertake high-level strategic projects that prepare them for advanced leadership
roles.

The Executive Diploma ‘Leadership Empowerment’ is part of a broader leadership development initiative launched in June

2023 by Dubai Municipality in collaboration with MBRSG. This initiative aims to proactively equip government leaders with a
pioneering, strategic, and innovative leadership approach, enabling them to drive transformation, take initiative, and tackle
key challenges in the workplace.

By fostering a culture of collaboration, inclusiveness, and foresight, Dubai Municipality continues to invest in strengthening

its human capital, ensuring the next generation of leaders are prepared to steer Dubai’s government and municipal sectors
towards continued excellence and innovation.
