The Ministry of Works (MOW) is responsible for all infrastructure services in the Kingdom of Bahrain, including the public road network, drainage systems, and public buildings.[1] Its work—which encompasses strategic planning, design, development, construction, project management and maintenance—is carried out in accordance with the National Strategic Master Plan for Bahrain, outlook 2030.[1] This national plan provides the legal framework for structural planning, strategic development and investment in the Kingdom, as well as a strong framework for development control.[1]
The Ministry of Sectoral Planning is moving towards a model in which it will manage the core business areas of sectoral planning, policy development, and regulation. It will also outsource service delivery to the private sector.[1] The Ministry's Central Planning Organization (CPO) coordinates the planning and implementation of all public infrastructure projects across the public sector as well as major industries, such as oil and gas.[1] The CPO has developed a novel and sophisticated Geographic Information System (GIS) to support this function.[1]
