In partnership with the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Knowledge Foundation (MBRF), and the General Secretariat of the Supreme Council for Planning and Development (GSSCPD), the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is hosting the Knowledge Week in October 2024. This event aims to drive conversations that leverage the Global Knowledge Index (GKI) to address developmental challenges and support Kuwait’s transition towards a knowledge-based economy in line with its third National Development Plan. UNDP and its partners are opening this opportunity to youth residing in Kuwait to partake in these dialogues, contribute to Kuwait's development agenda, and support its transition to a knowledge-based economy.
We invite applications from youth residing in Kuwait who are passionate about drawing national insights from data analysis, participating in policy debates, and devising innovative solutions to current challenges. We strongly encourage applications from young women and men from diverse backgrounds, including persons with disabilities.
