The Saudi Council of Economic and Development Affairs launched on Thursday the Quality of Life Program 2020 (QOL) to build a vibrant society that would support the achievement of the Kingdom’s Vision 2030. The implementation of QOL reflects the vision of the government of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques and the Crown Prince to prepare the required environment to improve the peoples lifestyle. The program enhances participation in cultural, entertainment, sports and other appropriate activities that contribute to the quality of life, job creation, as well as encouraging investment opportunities, and diversifying economic activities, while enhancing the status of Saudi cities in world rankings. The overarching goal of the program is to include at least three Saudi cities in the list of the top 100 cities in the world to live in by 2030. It aspires to provide economic and investment opportunities for sustainable growth and development. It encourages the private sector and foreign investors to invest in many vital markets related to improving the quality of life. The program relies on basic pillars that support the improvement of infrastructure and lifestyle with other enablers to reach the desired goal, including developing strong infrastructure in the cities of the Kingdom and providing comprehensive services to the population to meet their living needs. It also uses educational institutions and sport clubs to promote sports activities in the community by diversifying activities and facilitating access to various sports services. The program contributes to the development and diversification of entertainment opportunities in the Kingdom and promotes Saudi Arabia’s contribution to arts and culture through the development of seven cultural and artistic fields: visual arts, performing arts, filmmaking, poetry, design and national heritage. Total expenditures in the programs sectors reach 130 billion riyals (34.6 billion dollars). The Council of Economic and Development Affairs will monitor the implementation of QOL plans.
