About the Public Administration Center
The rapid development in advanced countries relies heavily on the outputs of educational institutions, particularly universities and research centers. Recognizing this, the Public Administration Center was established to align with the Yemeni government's initiatives, particularly in developing and qualifying administrative leaders tasked with realizing national aspirations and official policies in the realm of administrative development, with a view to achieving comprehensive and sustainable development in Yemen. To address the specific challenges and transformations facing public administration in Yemen, the Yemeni government, represented by Sana'a University, established a partnership with the Dutch government, represented by the Institute of Public Administration (ROI), and Leiden University. This collaboration resulted in the establishment of an Executive Master's Program in Public Administration. The program focuses on preparing and qualifying administrative leaders within government bodies, public institutions, and civil society organizations.
The center was established based on the University Rector’s Resolution No. (71) of 2006, and the internal regulations of the center were issued by the University Rector s Resolution No. (72) of 2007.
