«Misk» launches «Wafd» program
The Muhammad bin Salman Foundation «Misk» launched the «Wafd» program, a qualitative initiative aimed at enabling Saudi youth to have an active presence on the international scene. The «Wafd» program comes as an extension of Misk Foundation's efforts in global representation over the past years, as a competitive qualitative initiative that aims to place Saudi youth at the forefront of international participation, and enable them to officially represent Saudi Arabia on major global platforms and forums, foremost among them the United Nations General Assembly, the World Bank Youth Summit, and other forums and conferences with global impact. The program also serves as a reliable channel for youth participation within official Saudi delegations led by ministries, agencies, and national bodies. Since its launch under the umbrella of the Global Youth Series, the program has represented more than 200 young Saudi men and women in global forums, through participation in more than 25 international events and forums. Participants in the program enjoy an intensive field experience that allows them to attend multiple international events, gain qualitative expertise through high-level discussions, interact directly with decision-makers and stakeholders, and become closely acquainted with real policy environments, while benefiting from targeted training that enhances their readiness for this role. The program is based on three main objectives, through which Misk seeks to expand youth's access to global opportunities, enhance and develop youth participation at the international level, and build and develop a set of enabling skills among participants to ensure optimal representation of the homeland. «Wafd» is one of the programs of the Global Participation Path at Misk Foundation, as part of its ongoing efforts to empower Saudi youth and develop their leadership capabilities, in line with the goals of Saudi Vision 2030 to enhance youth presence and contribution to development locally and globally.
