Bahrain Fostering a Cloud-First Policy

The Information & eGovernment Authority (iGA) has announced the launch of a three-year programme to provide Cloud computing training to 600 employees from 75 governmental and semi-governmental entities, in line with the Government of Bahrain’s Cloud First policy. 

The programme will be rolled out in association with Microsoft as one of the cloud-technology leaders under its existing contract with the Government of Bahrain. The Microsoft training courses are expected to improve the efficiency of public sector employees in cloud services, in line with the directives of the national leadership and the Supreme Council for Information & Communication Technology (SCICT). The iGA aims to train approximately 200 employees this year and 600 by the end of the program’s term in 2024.

The Kingdom of Bahrain adopted its Cloud computing policy in 2017, following a decision by the SCICT, with the aim of redirecting IT investment towards Cloud computing, in cooperation with technology leaders.
