Catalyzing Progress, Fostering Unity: Bahrain's Vision for Tomorrow
How does a nation ensure that the digital revolution benefits every one of its citizens and residents? In the Kingdom of Bahrain, a future-oriented society, digital inclusivity stands as a cornerstone of progress. The government's commitment to this cause is clear: making the internet and public data open and accessible to all. This initiative is more than just providing access; it is about fostering an environment where technological innovation reaches every corner of society, ensuring that no one is left behind in the digital era.
Bahrain’s Government Plan is based on consolidating the Vision 2030 principles, i.e., Sustainability, Competitiveness, and Fairness, to implement all national development programs ensuring the highest standards in all tracks. The Plan aims to enhance the Kingdom’s position in leadership and innovation in all fields and to continue working in a team spirit (#Team_Bahrain). This can be achieved hand-in-hand with the constructive cooperation between the executive and legislative authorities in Bahrain and by strengthening the partnership with the private sector as the economic driver.
The Plan incorporates all the government directions that contribute to achieving citizens’ aspirations, being the centre of national development, enhancing the public services’ sustainability, adopting advanced technologies in various fields, in addition to environmental protection, natural resources sustainability, and advancing development in all sectors.
The Government Plan (2023 – 2026) has been designed to accommodate the outcomes of the Future Aspirations workshop with the participation of officials from various governmental entities and aligned with Bahrain Economic Vision 2030. The Plan has four priorities, 10 goals, and 6 main pillars, which are Raising Living Standards, Sovereignty and Legislation, Infrastructure and Environment, Economic Recovery and Financial Sustainability, Community Services, and Government Performance and Digital Transformation.
The Government Forum brings together senior officials across government, members of Parliament, and Community members to explore ways in which even greater sustainable diversification and economic prosperity can be delivered.
Bahrain’s Citizens also participate in the development of the Government Plan and government initiatives by electronically sharing their aspiration through “Share Your Aspiration” on the Government Forum website, which will be outlined in the forum agenda and its proceeding workshops.
Through this approach, Bahrain is not only enhancing the collaborative national development but also paving the way for digital competence and a more connected, informed, and empowered community. This commitment to participatory decision-making and digital inclusivity is shaping a society where technology becomes a tool for growth, equality, and shared prosperity
