Evidence snapshot for Bahrain
Bahrain has pursued targeted workforce and enterprise development through several major initiatives: Bahrain's Technical Development Programme (TTDP) trains roughly 80 unemployed young Bahrainis annually on live e-government projects, with its first two cohorts producing 143 graduates and nearly 100 technical-role placements. Tamkeen's Business Development Programme has supported 13,659 companies with BHD 193 million since 2009 and lifted average monthly employee pay from BHD 668 to BHD 760 through wage co-financing. Bahrain FinTech Bay incubated 116+ startups between 2018 and 2023 alongside the region's first central-bank regulatory sandbox, which received 34 fintech-firm applications in its first year. Bahrain's Supreme Council for Women has advanced women's political and judicial representation, with women now holding ~20% of parliamentary seats and 22 female judges serving in the judiciary.
