THE ENHANCED STRUCTURE OF THE MID-RANGE PLAN The 2015/2016 – 2019/2020 mid-range plan presents a national direction for the coming years, derived from the vision of His Highness the Emir of Kuwait, Sheikh Sabah Al Ahmad Al Sabah. The envisioned direction sets areas of focus, and determines the plans and projects to achieve the desired state from Kuwait and its inhabitants. The structure of the 2015/2016 – 2019/2020 mid-range plan has been revised to follow a clear cascading process, from the national vision, to specific areas of focus down to supporting projects. This process will focus and unify development efforts in Kuwait towards achieving common goals that serve the greater good of the nation. The vision of His Highness the Emir is cascaded into five themes that represent a desired “end state” for Kuwait. These themes are supported by seven pillars that represent the drivers that Kuwait’s different institutions (executive, legislative, and judicial) can use to achieve them. Global indices are used to measure Kuwait’s progress to allow the comparison with other countries and remove political manipulation of data.

It gained full independence from the United Kingdom in 1961. Its area is 17,800km2, making it much smaller than its immediate neighbours. In size, it is comparable to Eswatini6 and Fiji. Kuwait consists largely of low-lying desert and the economy is heavily dependent on petroleum. As with some other small oil-rich Gulf states, the majority of the population are non- citizen expatriates7. The country is named after its capital and largest city. Kuwait is essentially a city state, with the vast majority of the population living in Kuwait City and its suburbs. The word kuwayt is Arabic, meaning 1 Kuwait is a constitutional monarchy ruled by an Emir (Arabic: amīr), so is an Emirate (imārah), but the official title uses the Arabic word dawlah, which means ‘state’. 2 ISO 639-2 codes are given for languages mentioned in this Factfile. 3https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/858000/RO MANIZATION_OF_ARABIC.pdf 4 On cartographic products PCGN would recommend showing the local Roman-script name in primary position with the English conventional name in brackets.

    darmagazine i14 January 2018 Closer than ever before Featuring an exclusive, in-depth look at the Sheikh Jaber Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah Causeway darmagazine i14 January 2018 In this issue In a world so deeply affected by the continuous advent of technology, climate change, and cultural exchange, the need to stay connected to one another, to understand the issues that affect us and what we have to offer one another, both as individuals and as countries, is more important than ever. As such, the pages of Dar Magazine’s 14th issue – the longest issue in the publication’s history – offer advances in sustainability and innovation from all over the globe. Notable among these is one we are especially proud to feature: the historic Sheikh Jaber Al-Ahmad A-Sabah Kuwait Causeway, one of the longest bridge projects in the world, linking Kuwait City to the north of Kuwait. Elsewhere, Currie & Brown sheds light on the rebuild of London Bridge Station, Maffeis shares an informative account on its work on the Doha Oasis’s dome, and Perkins+Will pushes for more modern and holistic designs of educational spaces. Closer to home, Dar announces a new way of seeing and visualising in the form of its augmented reality application, d.ar. With the imminent threat of climate change in sight, sustainable living and building become integral to upward movement. Dar considers Agenda 2030 as a possible – perhaps final – means to combat climate change, and Elementa reveals the details of its Zero Carbon Capital proposals. Chiming into the conversation, Dar London introduces the Al Sa’fat rating system to promote greener building, and Dar takes us on a journey with Sustainability Movement and its efforts to encourage green living among school students around the region.
