How can public administration education and training prepare institutions for AI-enabled governance and citizen-centred services?

This was the central question at the first IASIA-MENAPAR Dialogue, held during the IASIA Annual Conference in Athens. The session brought together institutions from the Middle East and North Africa and from other regions to compare experiences, learn from each other’s practice and work towards evidence-based recommendations for strengthening state capacity in the MENA region.

The session was chaired by H.E. Moussa Abu Zaid, President of MENAPAR, with contributions from IASIA President Prof. Dr LIEZEL LUES, Sen. Dr Abla Amawi (The Jordanian Senate), Dr Sofiane SAHRAOUI (IIAS Director General) and Dr Younes Abouyoub, Ph.D. (UN ESCWA).

We aim to make this exchange a permanent feature of IASIA conferences and to build a lasting strategic partnership with MENAPAR in the Arab region.
