Programme details
In 2023 the Quality of Life Program of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia partnered with the United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-Habitat) on the Quality of Life Initiative. The Initiative aims to provide policy makers with new knowledge to improve quality of life in their communities, through the use of a human centric globally relevant and locally applicable metric; the Quality of Life Index. Unlike typical indices, this initiative has built a tool which enables informed decision making and is made to measure progress, rather than ranking or comparing different countries and cities. Human well-being has been identified as one of the key transformative shifts needed to achieve the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and the Quality of Life Index will contribute by helping subnational governments in urban areas to achieve progress towards a prosperous and fulfilling life for individuals and communities, thus localizing the SDGs. The index was co-created through wide ranging consultations with experts and stakeholders around the world representing all eight SDG regions, and is aligned with the Urban Monitoring Framework (UMF) endorsed by the United Nations in 2022. One of the invaluable key stakeholders who contributed to the co-creation process is Smart City Institute Japan, who also sit on the initiative’s Quality Assurance Panel.
