The partnership aims at modernising government work under the Government Experience Exchange Programme. The partnership was announced at the World Government Summit held with the participation of more than 10,000 leaders, government officials, heads of international organisations, international companies and entrepreneurs from worldwide.

The bilateral cooperation aims to share the expertise and successful experiences developed by the governments of the UAE and Rwanda in various areas of future government work and the best practices by the two governments in promoting institutional excellence, work quality, government innovation, and service development.

The agreement was signed by Abdullah Nasser Lootah, Assistant Minister of Cabinet Affairs for Competitiveness and Knowledge Exchange and Chairman of the Competitiveness Council, and Emmanuel Hategeka, Ambassador of the Rwanda to the UAE.

Lootah emphasised the UAE government’s keenness to step up international cooperation aimed at modernising government work and enhancing cooperation and partnerships in exchanging its experiences in government work to empower governments and bolster their readiness for the future.

He added that the summit is the largest global platform for building partnerships to shape the future and explore new opportunities. The agreement will strengthen government capabilities, empower human resources and provide them with future skills and tools to improve government performance.
