The Labour Fund “Tamkeen” announced the launch of its new online portal, which will accept applications for the support programmes starting Tuesday. The public will be able to access the portal through Tamkeen’s website, “www.tamkeen.bh” Husain Mohamed Rajab, Chief Executive of Tamkeen said, “We are committed to continuing to build on our past successes through our 2021-2025 strategy to ensure that Bahrainis remain the employee of choice locally and internationally and that the private sector is the engine of growth in the national economy.”

“Most recently, we underwent a comprehensive transformation process which included 50 initiatives that focused on re-designing our support schemes and creating innovative programmes that drive real impact, in line with the national economic recovery plan.

Our economic landscape is changing and adapting to that change is necessary for continued growth and development.” He continued, “We will continue to provide support through our programmes to customers across all sectors, based on specific eligibility criteria, while also focusing on incentivizing high-potential sectors that contribute to the growth and sustainability of the national economy, in line with Bahrain’s national economic recovery plan.”

The new programmes are linked to specific and transparent evaluation criteria based on key performance indicators. They were launched gradually in February through a pilot phase to evaluate the portal and ensure that the application process is as per the set plan.
