What works in Kuwait

Kuwait has launched multiple AI and digital accessibility initiatives, though implementation gaps remain significant. Kuwait's National Framework for Digital Accessibility set WCAG-based e-government standards starting in 2018, but a 2023 study found 77% of ICT employees and 66% of managers had never heard of WCAG, with lack of awareness cited by 68% of respondents as the top barrier to adoption. On the AI front, Kuwait's Ministry of Finance deployed TRASUL+, an AI-driven correspondence system launched in June 2025 and recognized with an excellence award, while Kuwait's National AI Teacher Training Programme with Google has trained 3,488 teachers by April 2026 (of a ~40,000 target by 2027) on AI tools—though the practices document policy rollout rather than quantified outcomes on teaching practice or student impact.
