Before adopting the sustainable development goals, Kuwait had accomplished significant millennium development goals. Due to the country's abundant natural riches, particularly its oil and gas reserves, it has been possible to provide universal education, eradicate hunger and poverty, and improve gender equality in the workplace and other spheres of society. The nation had made enormous social and economic advancements, including achieving universal healthcare. The sustainable development goals were endorsed by the government in September 2015, and actions were taken in line with its development strategy for vision 2035.
