The Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Knowledge Foundation (MBRF) and the
United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), in partnership with the
Kuwaiti General Secretariat of the Supreme Council for Planning and
Development (GSSCPD), have launched the first workshop in the “Knowledge
Journey in Kuwait.” This transformative initiative is designed to empower
Kuwaiti youth with skills essential for building a knowledge-based economy and
contributing to Kuwait’s national development. The workshop marks the
beginning of a series of events leading up to the Knowledge Week, scheduled
for next year.
As nations shift towards knowledge-driven societies, Kuwait’s Third National
Development Plan and Kuwait Vision 2035, align with this global trend by
focusing on innovation, youth empowerment, and fostering a dynamic private
sector. The Knowledge Journey has emerged as a transformative initiative,
designed to create meaningful conversations between youth and policymakers,
building on insights from the Global Knowledge Index (GKI), a flagship
initiative of UNDP’s Knowledge Project.
His Excellency Jamal bin Huwaireb, CEO of MBRF, said, “Today marks a critical
milestone in Kuwait’s efforts to empower its youth and develop a knowledge-
based economy. We are proud to have been part of the workshop’s launch
through our partnership with the UNDP and GSSCPD, a step towards supporting
youth with the tools necessary to drive innovation and national development.
