Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Foundation's road show in North Africa immensely successful

The road show, which covered Morocco, Tunisia and Algeria, is part of a wider pan-Arab tour of 14 countries to promote the Foundation's Pioneers and Fellows programmes. Led by Mustafa Al Ansari, Vice President - Operations, the delegation will also visit Egypt, Sudan, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Yemen, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain and Oman before concluding the tour in the UAE.

Al Ansari said:

"The level of attention for the Foundation's Fellows and Pioneers programme was impressive. Hundreds of youth showed keen interest in our scholarship programmes. We met with more than 800 potential students in Morocco, 600 attendees in Tunis and 600 attendees in Algeria. The tour was so successful and we are thrilled with the positive feedback from aspiring youth looking forward to pursue their post-graduate studies."

"We are looking forward to meeting enthusiastic and dynamic young people at our next destinations and help them realise their academic aspirations. Opportunities offered by the Foundation are only a prelude to the role they are expected to play to ensure a better future for their communities and the wider Arab nation," he added.

The 'Fellows' programme enables aspiring Arabs to obtain postgraduate degrees in Business Administration (MBA), Public Administration (MPA), Public Policy (MPP) and Finance from top tier international universities. Equally important, the 'Pioneers' programme gives talented Arab youth the chance to acquire Master's degrees at leading universities in the Arab world.

Cairo will be the next stop for the Foundation's tour where delegates will meet with Egyptian youth, partners and other key stakeholders at Fairmont Heliopolis Hotel on 9 November. The delegation will then leave for the coastal city of Alexandria for similar meetings at Sheraton Al Muntazah on 10 November.

The Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Foundation aims to develop the knowledge and human capabilities and introduce a future generation of regional leaders. It aims to achieve its strategic objectives through a wide array of pioneering projects and programmes in three main strategic areas: knowledge and education, culture, and entrepreneurship.
