He said that the Ministry of Interior aims to harness human resources through this program in order to achieve its strategic goals. “It also aims to deliver institutional standards by sponsoring and developing creative individuals, as well as nurturing creative competition among employees. However, this cannot be achieved without programs based on the best international practices,” he explained, adding that this program will be the cornerstone for a creativity club targeting creative people and serving as an unparalleled modern platform across the country to promote administrative creativity.

Major Al Hosani highlighted the steps that the first batch of participants underwent in order to be chosen. “The program selected people across the Ministry of Interior with creative ideas and proposals.

The program includes a variety of activities to polish and improve their creative skills and capabilities. These activities include meetings with police high commandments as well as MoI leadership who hold high degrees.
