Journey stands as a testament to our mission to increase opportunities for new demographics despite
any regional boundaries, attaining our vision of a sustainable knowledge economy based on innovation
and creative thinking.”

Emma Morley, Resident Representative of UNDP in Kuwait, said, “The ‘Knowledge Journey in Kuwait’
exemplifies our unwavering commitment to accelerate youth empowerment across the Arab region,

empowering them as the key partners in building sustainable futures. In the present world, nations’ growth
is mainly driven by their investment in knowledge, innovation, and human capital. Our partnership with
MBRF and the Kuwaiti SCPD contributes towards equipping youth and women to navigate global trends,
inform evidence-based policymaking, and actively shape the nation’s future. Furthermore, this initiative is

aligned with our commitment to ‘Kuwait Vision 2035,’ which aims to position the youth as key players in
creating a diversified, inclusive knowledge economy.”

The General Secretariat for SCPD underscored that this initiative advances national efforts to empower
youth and foster local talent, in line with the National Development Plan and Kuwait Vision 2035. The
council highlighted that investing in human capital is a key step towards attaining sustainable

development and establishing a knowledge-based economy. Through its partnership with MBRF and
UNDP, the council seeks to develop an environment that supports youth leadership skills and digital
transformation across industries. This partnership will help cultivate a new generation of leaders capable
of navigating future challenges and creating development opportunities.

The final phase of the initiative follows the path of the previous ones, building on their results and drawing
from fruitful sessions and discussions held across various sectors. It aims to create practical and strong

recommendations that contribute to the development of a knowledge-based society. The first phase, held
in October 2024, highlighted the significance of knowledge in driving development and the role of the
Global Knowledge Index as a tool for evaluating the status and trends of global knowledge economies.
