Launched in early 2019, this pilot program aims to address challenges related to the formal and informal education sectors in Kuwait through the application of the Collective Impact model, which creates the foundation for effective systems change through a focus on multi-stakeholder participation, coordination, alignment and learning.

The coalition, which brings together educators, school administrators, students across the public and private sectors, as well as civil society and private sector organizations, is working to promote inclusive and accessible education which fosters critical thinking, experiential learning, and civic engagement.
