CIFAL Saudi Arabia, in partnership with the Institute of Public Administration, has successfully concluded the advanced development program “Preparing Development Studies.” The program targeted professionals from government development entities, and manifests a shared commitment to advancing strategic planning and informed decision-making through high-quality development studies.

The program addressed several key themes, including an introduction to development studies and their role in achieving sustainable development, as well as identifying community needs and setting priorities using data-driven approaches. Participants were trained on data sources and collection methodologies using modern tools, and on developing effective and actionable development plans.

The program focused on hands-on learning, allowing participants to engage in activities to apply theoretical concepts and scientific methods to real-world models, ensuring the direct transfer of knowledge to their work environments.

This initiative aligns with CIFAL Saudi Arabia’s vision to support administrative and developmental progress, strengthen collaboration with leading national institutions, and enhance the capabilities of government professionals to contribute effectively to achieving Saudi Vision 2030.
