The Government Action Plan reflects the strategic priorities of the Bahraini government with a focus on delivering sustainable change in line with the reform project of His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, King of Bahrain. Built upon the principles of Sustainability, Transparency, Justice, and Competitiveness, the Government Action Plan aimed at capitalizing on the Kingdom’s resources and capabilities to meet the needs of all Bahrainis.

Bahrain’s Council of Representatives has been granted the full authority to review and approve the four-year plan including the overall development agenda, fiscal budget, and yearly closing accounts. Although the governance system in Bahrain is remarked with the separation of legislative, executive and judicial authorities, the Kingdom is blessed with the cooperative relationship between the legislative and executive branches to build a better future for Bahrain. The full authority given to the Council of Representative is one of the main outcomes of the National Dialogue and the Constitutional Amendments in 2012.

The Council suggested 52 recommendations, which have been approved by the Bahrain Government Subsequently and incorporated into the Government Action Plan.

The Government Forum is a vital platform that brings together all segments of the government to exchange views on public policies and programs to continue improving the efficiency of the public sector. These initiatives are aimed at enhancing government efficiency in line with the reform directions issued by His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, the King of Bahrain.
The Government Forum aimed at delivering a modern and dynamic public sector that can facilitate long-term prosperity, meet citizens’ needs and aspirations, and achieve sustainable development. Government Forum outcomes are the main pillars of the Government Action plan, which will serve the country for the coming years.
The forum is held under the patronage of HRH Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the Crown Prince and Prime Minister.
