Bahrain Targets Women's Leadership : SCW unveils 2025–2026 national roadmap
TDT | Manama Bahraini women are set to enter a new chapter of national development, focusing on assuming top leadership roles under a newly approved national plan by the Supreme Council for Women (SCW) for 2025 and 2026. New roadmap Titled 'Bahraini Women: Empowerment, Progress and Striving for Leadership', the plan was endorsed by Her Royal Highness Princess Sabeeka bint Ibrahim Al Khalifa, Wife of His Majesty the King and President of the SCW. It identifies four priority areas: family stability, decision-making, economic participation, and quality of life. Each area includes initiatives grouped under five axes: policy, budgeting, awareness and training, auditing, and evaluation. The two-year strategy builds on nearly two decades of institutional efforts to support women and aims to shift the focus from empowerment to leadership in both public and private spheres. From progress to power Unlike previous national strategies that concentrated on inclusion, the new plan signals a transition towards top-level leadership. It promotes women's access to senior roles across sectors, especially in fields such as artificial intelligence, renewable energy, and digital transformation. According to the SCW, Bahraini women now constitute 60 percent of the government workforce, with half of them in executive roles. In the private sector, women make up 36 percent of the total workforce and hold 36 percent of executive positions. The number of virtual commercial records owned by women reached 1,220 by 2024, representing 54 percent. Institutional partnership The plan introduces an implementation framework that engages government, private, and civil society sectors. This cooperative structure ensures shared national responsibility for advancing women, with clear roles and coordinated action. Among its goals are increased female participation on corporate boards, greater involvement in civil society leadership, and supportive family policies that allow women to balance personal and professional commitments. Forward strategy To improve quality of life, the plan outlines initiatives related to health, safety, and environmental awareness. It also includes programs to expand women's sports and improve support services in workplaces. By aligning with Bahrain's Vision 2030 and upcoming Vision 2050, the SCW aims to position Bahraini women as key contributors to sustainable development and economic growth.

Miknas Affirms Readiness to Strengthen Economic Collaboration Between Bahrain and Lebanon
Akram Miknas, Businessman and Chairman of Promosven, affirmed that the recent official visit of His Excellency General Joseph Aoun, President of the Lebanese Republic to the Kingdom of Bahrain marks a historic turning point in bilateral relations between the two nations. 'The high-level meetings held during the visit, particularly the meeting between His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa and His Excellency the President, represented a significant milestone in strengthening ties across political, economic, and social spheres. It also stands as the highest-level visit by a Lebanese official in decades.' said Mr. Miknas Mr. Miknas emphasized the readiness of Promosven and the wider Lebanese business community to contribute meaningfully to the activation of economic collaboration between Bahrain and Lebanon by translating signed agreements into tangible projects. 'It is essential to reinstate direct flights between Bahrain and Lebanon, given the critical role such connectivity plays in revitalizing trade, stimulating tourism, and enhancing overall economic exchange. Equally, streamlining visa and residency procedures is fundamental to facilitating the movement of investors and entrepreneurs, thereby enabling the expansion of joint ventures and reinforcing the economic partnership between both nations.' In a related context, Mr. Miknas noted that Lebanon today is in urgent need of support from all its Arab brothers to strengthen its economic and political stability. Bahrain was the first to offer such support, reaffirming Lebanon's rightful place within the Arab fold after a prolonged period of absence and unrest. This noble initiative by Bahrain has the potential to serve as Lebanon's economic gateway to GCC countries, which are distinguished by their diverse and well-established economies, advanced financial and commercial infrastructure, and a supportive environment for investment and business. Highlighting key opportunities for collaboration, Mr. Miknas identified promising avenues for private sector partnerships in areas such as technology, Islamic finance and infrastructure development. Enhancing cooperation with Bahrain, particularly in light of Lebanon's ongoing economic recovery, presents meaningful opportunities, especially by leveraging the expertise of Lebanon's highly skilled professionals in fields such as artificial intelligence and digital innovation. 'The peoples of Bahrain and Lebanon share deep cultural values rooted in openness, tolerance, and hospitality. These qualities have long supported successful economic partnerships and continue to create a welcoming environment for Lebanese entrepreneurs, many of whom have established thriving businesses fully integrated into the fabric of Bahraini society.' Mr. Miknas concluded by reaffirming the vital role of economic diplomacy and private sector engagement in strengthening the long-standing relationship between Bahrain and Lebanon, paving the way for a prosperous and mutually beneficial future.
