The Mohammed Bin Rashid School of
Government (MBRSG) has announced
a number of key participants for its
second UAE Public Policy Forum.
The forum, which is intended to provide a
platform to share ideas and experience
for public policy, will take place on 15-
th
16 January 2018. The MBRSG Public Policy Forum will focus on how to create
successful public-private partnerships.
Participants con rmed for the event
include local, national and international government organisations, universities, and
business organisations.

This year's event will be held under the banner of "Shaping the Future of Public-Private
Partnerships", and will focus on creating and operating public-private partnership
agreements and initiatives

The forum will focus on six pillars, education, health, transportation, technology and
innovation, urban planning, and sustainable development. The event seeks to help
stakeholders in both sectors evaluate partnership projects in the UAE and the region,
exchange ideas and experiences, and develop new policies, regulations and action plans for
sustainable development and the knowledge economy.

MBRSG's Executive President His Excellency Dr Ali bin Sebaa Al Marri said: "The vision of His
Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of
the UAE, Ruler of Dubai, considers public-private partnerships to be the next phase of
government work in the UAE, and an essential ingredient for the transition towards the
government of the future. This transition, in turn, transforms the government's role from
mainly operating the country's infrastructure, to developing, supervising and implementing
ambitious visions and strategies, all the while ensuring the quality and sustainability of
private-sector services.
