The Dubai Initiative (DI) is a joint venture between the Dubai School of Government (DSG) and Harvard Kennedy School. It is based at the Kennedy School's Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs. DI was established in 2004 to aid in the establishment and growth of DSG.

DI runs an annual fellowship program for pre-docs, post-docs, and practitioners in policy-relevant fields related to the Middle East. It has an internship program for students, and sponsors research by faculty, students, and scholars on the Middle East. DI holds an annual conference and public events aimed at generating ideas and debate on relevant policy issues.
