Towards Inclusive Societies

Eman GH Alkhaledi, a coach in balanced living, presented “Inclusive Societies: No One Left

Behind .” She highlighted the transition from care-based to empowerment-based
approaches, stating that true inclusion begins with individual empowerment.

Alkhaledi underlined urban and digital accessibility as pillars of engagement and

emphasized the family’s role in fostering independence and confidence from early stages

to build a sustainable society.

Turning Data into Action

The sessions concluded with “The Knowledge Project: Turning Data into Action,” by Dr.

Hany Torky, Chief Technical Adviser at the UNDP Knowledge Project.

Dr. Torky affirmed that the primary challenge today is acting on data rather than just

collecting it. He outlined three levels of the Knowledge Project: measurement via the
Global Knowledge Index (GKI), trend analysis, and transforming knowledge into evidence-
based policies.

He emphasized that systemic thinking including education, research, and digital
infrastructure is essential for a knowledge-based society. Dr. Torky described data as a

compass directing decision-makers toward strategic, sustainable development.
