Government Centres Evaluation

Enhancing Bahrain's Progress through Government Centers Evaluation

Is the Kingdom of Bahrain's Government Pursuing Excellence and Innovation? Absolutely.

In Bahrain, excellence isn't just a goal; it's a way of life for the government. With unyielding determination, they've embarked on a journey to ensure that every organization and division stands out. How? It all began with the directives of the Crown Prince and Prime Minister, HRH Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, and the groundbreaking Decision (9) of 2017.

Taqyeem,” which means evaluation in Arabic, is the name of an annual program launched in 2018 that focuses on evaluating Government Service Centres across the Kingdom in line with the government’s aim to maintain high levels of excellence in the provision of public services. Its mission is clear: evaluate government service centers and transform them into centers of excellence. Their objective? Empower teams to deliver top-notch services quickly, exceeding the public's expectations. But that's not all. Bahrain's government is fueling this transformation with creativity, transparency, and knowledge, all while striving for sustainability. The result? A government that not only excels but also boosts the competitiveness of the national economy.
