Kuwait works with World Bank to implement national youth policy

emirates7 - Kuwait has cooperated with the World Bank (WB) to implement the projects listed in the national policy for training and employing the youth, according to the Kuwait News Agency (KUNA).

A technical team from the WB attended meetings with PAY to explore areas of cooperation and assess the assistance the Bank could offer to the authority in the framework of Kuwait-WB partnership (2021-2025), he noted.

The partnership has two axes - investment in human resources, and empowering the private sector to drive economic growth and job opportunities, Al-Shahin revealed.
