MCIT, NTA Conclude Round One of ‘AI for Government Organization Leaders’ National Initiativ

The Ministry of Communications and Information Technology (MCIT), in collaboration with the National Training Academy (NTA), has concluded the first round of the “AI for Government Organization Leaders” national initiative, drawing around 200 participants. Senior officials from both organizations attended the closing session.

The initiative aims to build the capacity of 500 leaders across ministries, governorates, and public agencies, to navigate the digital revolution and put artificial intelligence to work in their institutions, empowering them to lead confidently as technology reshapes the business of government.

The program focused on five core areas: leadership and strategy in the AI era, AI applications in government services, cybersecurity and smart governance, innovation and emerging technologies, and long-term planning for a sustainable future. 

Over 10 days totaling 60 training hours, participants took part in specialized lectures, hands-on training, and case studies exploring global AI trends and their application to strengthening government performance.

The initiative is part of a broader MCIT effort to strengthen digital skills across the state administrative apparatus and expand the use of AI across sectors. The goal is government operations that run more efficiently, decisions grounded firmly in data, and institutions equipped to adapt as the future unfolds.
