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.
