GLOBAL KNOWLEDGE INDEX - GKI: KUWAIT COUNTRY PERFORMANCE SUMMARY

The Global Knowledge Index (GKI) serves as a tool to monitor the knowledge status of countries in key areas including education, innovation and information and communications technology (ICT).

Covering 154 countries and 232 indicators, the 2021 GKI is helping to guide policymakers, researchers, civil society, and the private sector as they nurture knowledge-based societies and bridge knowledge gaps. In particular, the GKI shows how emerging trends in technology, learning and innovation are radically reshaping our societies. Countries must now leverage their knowledge infrastructure to open-up new opportunities in the form of jobs and livelihoods, driving forward sustainable development. The GKI can also feed into key measurements such as UNDP’s Human Development Index.
