Shura Council secretary general Kareema Al Abbasi emphasised the importance of enhancing training programmes for the council’s staff, adopting specialised initiatives based on practical application and real-world expertise.
She emphasised that these efforts aim to promote legislative awareness, facilitate knowledge exchange, and develop effective communication, in line with the general secretariat’s 2024-2026 strategic plan, which prioritises investing in national talent and strengthening their abilities through training programmes.
The secretary general highlighted the support of Shura Council Chairman Ali Saleh Al Saleh for capacity-building initiatives, emphasising their role in enhancing the general secretariat’s efficiency.
She commended the ‘Certified Trainer’ programme, which started as an ambitious idea and has now become a structured training programme, strengthening investment in national talent.
