The Arab Administrative Development Organization (ARADO) approved the launch of its 2027-2030 strategic plan Wednesday during the 122nd session of its Executive Council in Rabat, focusing on digital transformation, artificial intelligence, and public administration reform.
The ministerial meeting brought together Arab officials responsible for modernizing public administration and developing human resources. Participants reviewed the organization’s 2022-2026 strategy and discussed its transition to a fully self-financed model in 2027.
Saudi Arabia’s Institute of Public Administration Director General Bandar bin Asaad Al-Sajjan, who chaired the meeting, highlighted digital innovation, financial sustainability, and knowledge sharing as priorities for the organization’s next phase.
Moroccan Minister in Charge of Administrative Reform Aïcha Guellaa said modernizing public administration requires greater investment in human capital, digital skills, and innovation.
The Moroccan official called for stronger cooperation among Arab countries to improve public services and address emerging technological challenges.
Arab League representative Yasmine Taima welcomed ARADO’s planned transition to self-financing and called for closer coordination between Arab institutions.
The council also recommended a comprehensive legal, financial, and organizational review of its responsibilities under the new funding model.
Members proposed holding the council’s May 2027 session in Egypt and its November 2027 session in Morocco.
Founded in 1961 as a specialized Arab League organization, ARADO supports administrative reform, institutional development, and public-sector capacity building across Arab countries.
