Kuwait Voluntary National Review 2019

Starting with the Third Millennium, and prior to the adoption of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the State of Kuwait had met most goals and targets of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). Indeed, the country had recorded concrete successes in ending poverty, winning the fight against hunger, providing universal education and closing the gender gap in education. It had attained universal health care, achieved admirable health indicators of infant, child, maternal and overall mortality, and ensured extensive water and sanitation services. Kuwait had also made important strides in economic, social and human development while paying significant attention to the environment and maintaining unwavering commitment to global partnership and international solidarity.
