Manama: The Information and eGovernment Authority (iGA)'s Equal Opportunities Committee held its fourth meeting of 2025, chaired by Mohammed Ali Al Qaed, Chief Executive of the iGA. The discussion was part of the iGA's ongoing efforts to embed the principle of equal opportunities and foster a supportive work environment that contributes to achieving gender balance.
According to Bahrain News Agency, Al Qaed commended the efforts of the committee members in adopting and launching initiatives and programs that align with the government's directives, and the importance of these efforts in strengthening women's role in the various digital and technological programs and projects implemented by the iGA.
The Committee reviewed a number of agenda items, including the final report on the governance framework within the National Plan for the Advancement of Bahraini Women (2025-2026). They also discussed the results of the employee satisfaction survey prepared by the Committee and circulated among iGA employees to capture their views, feedback, and suggestions.
The discussion further covered key measures and initiatives implemented by the iGA to enhance equal opportunities, with a proposal to form a team tasked to showcase the success stories of employees and highlight their volunteering activities. The aim is to recognise individual efforts, promote a culture of initiative and excellence, and encourage broader participation in supporting the iGA's objectives and serving the community.
The iGA reiterated its commitment to fostering a balanced and inclusive work environment for all employees, while emphasising the role of Committee members in strengthening a culture of equal opportunities and contributing to workplace stability and sustainable development.
