His Excellency Jamal bin Huwaireb, CEO of the MBRF, said: “The MBRF aims to introduce the Knowledge
Week in Kuwait as a new inspiration for Kuwaiti youth to actively engage in building a knowledge-based

society and reinforce their involvement in the sustainable progress of their country. Our goal with this
prominent knowledge event is to provide young Kuwaiti talents with innovative perspectives and experiences
that will actively contribute to society’s progress and address its challenges.”

Ms. Eman Al-Sharrah, from the National Knowledge Economy Center of the GSSCPD, said: “We welcome
the Knowledge Week in Kuwait and encourage the youth to apply to participate in it as we envision the event

as a transitional point towards Kuwait’s third National Development Plan and Vision 2035. By nurturing
Kuwaiti youth’s talents and ideas, we aim to shape a future where knowledge drives prosperity for the State
of Kuwait.”

Emma Morley, UNDP Resident Representative in Kuwait, stated: “The UNDP is committed to empowering
the youth of Kuwait by equipping them with the skills and knowledge needed to lead their societies. The

Knowledge Week is a crucial step in this process, as it provides a platform for collaboration, learning, and
leadership in sustainable development.”

In October 2024, the UNDP will host Knowledge Week in collaboration with the MBRF and the GSSCPD.
Through the event, it aims to leverage insights from the Global Knowledge Index to address developmental

challenges and support Kuwait’s transition towards a knowledge-based economy, aligning with Kuwait Vision
2035. Moreover, it aims to enhance the future skills of Kuwaiti youth. Previously held in Egypt and Jordan,
the Knowledge Week plays a pivotal role in encouraging development contributions from youth in both

countries while also establishing a vast network of leaders and changemakers.
