Dr. Shaikha Rana Bint Isa Bin Duaij Al Khalifa, Director General of the Institute of Public Administration (IPA), affirmed that the Institute’s participation in the activities of Youth City 2030, organized by the Ministry of Youth in collaboration with its strategic partner, the Labour Fund (Tamkeen), reflects IPA’s commitment to its role as a national partner in developing national capabilities.
She noted that the initiative is part of the Kingdom’s national efforts to empower young people and is held under the support and patronage of His Highness Shaikh Nasser Bin Hamad Al Khalifa, Representative of His Majesty the King for Humanitarian Work and Youth Affairs and Chairman of the Supreme Council for Youth and Sports.

Her remarks came on the occasion of the Institute’s participation in Youth City 2030 through three specialized training workshops: "Administrative Dimensions," "Challenge Team," and "Emotional Intelligence." These workshops were designed to provide participants with practical knowledge and skills that strengthen their capabilities in management, teamwork, effective communication, and self-awareness, as well as understanding others, thereby preparing them for the demands of professional and leadership roles.
She added that Bahraini youth have consistently demonstrated their ability to seize valuable opportunities aimed at developing their skills and refining their capabilities. This reflects their high level of awareness, ambition, and commitment to building successful professional and personal careers. She stressed that this positive mindset forms a key foundation for preparing a generation capable of competing, innovating, and leading the future.
The Director General further emphasized that Youth City 2030 serves as a leading national platform for fostering collaboration among institutions in the field of youth development and capacity building through high-quality programmes and initiatives that address future needs. She commended the Ministry of Youth for organizing this national event, which continues to strengthen its position as one of Bahrain’s flagship initiatives dedicated to empowering young people and preparing them to contribute effectively to the Kingdom’s national development journey.
