The Client

The Dubai School of Government (DSG) is a research and teaching institution, focusing on public policy in the Arab world. Established in 2005 in cooperation with the Harvard Kennedy School, DSG aims to promote good governance through enhancing the region’s capacity for effective public policy.

The Need

DSG is a leading research and training institute that provides a range of instructions in effective public policy development, implementation and analysis. Academicians, researchers, dignitaries and other experts in specialized areas often visit the school to hold discussions, attend seminars and delivering lectures on many burning issues related to governance, society, economy and environment etc. Faculty and researchers from DSG also appear frequently on various social/economic/media forums for interviews and discussions. These events result in a vast collection of unstructured content that has a great value for students and researchers alike. The school also has other valuable information such as its mission, faculty/researchers and academic programs to share with its students.
