Emma Morley, UNDP Resident Representative in Kuwait, said, “UNDP is
dedicated to supporting Kuwait’s transition to a diversified economy by
equipping its youth with the skills and knowledge needed to foster innovation
and strengthen the private sector. As young people lead the way with fresh,
innovative ideas, this initiative enables Kuwaitis to take an active role in shaping
the country’s sustainable future and driving long-term economic growth.”
On behalf of GSSCPD, Eman Al-Sharrah stated: “This initiative offers a valuable
opportunity for Kuwaiti youth to develop their skills and engage with experts
and decisionmakers. GSSCPD is committed to supporting initiatives that align
with Kuwait Vision 2035 by prioritizing investment in human resources and
promoting youth roles in sustainable development. Believing that youth are the
drivers of change, GSSCPD emphasizes that by equipping them with knowledge
and expertise, we can build a strong, diversified economy.”
The workshop engaged participants in discussions with industry experts and
UNDP representatives on the critical role of knowledge economies in driving
future development, the significance of the GKI, and the need for continuous
skills development to remain competitive in evolving markets. The day’s agenda
included a detailed presentation of the GKI, an exploration of knowledge
markets and their influence on national economies, and a focus on future skills
required to build a competitive knowledge economy.
The Knowledge Journey will continue with two additional sessions, leading up to
the Knowledge Week, the first initiative of its kind, in early 2025.
