MADINAH: The Public Sector Capabilities Index 2025 has highlighted Madinah’s strengths in institutional capacity building in the first report assessing cities’ abilities to adapt and transform.
For the report, published by the University College London Institute for Innovation and Public Purpose in partnership with Bloomberg Philanthropies, field research was conducted in 45 cities with input from over 200 government officials and 100 international experts.
Madinah excelled in adopting methodologies and developing local governance mechanisms, mainly due to the “innovative government excellence model in Madinah” established by Madinah Region Development Authority and the region’s municipality.
The model promotes partnership and boosts flexibility to enhance integration between the government, private sector and community.
This distinction reflects the commitment of the Saudi leadership to improve the quality of life and services for residents and visitors while supporting Saudi Vision 2030.
