Memorandum of Understanding between IER and the Saudi Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development

In early September, the UK and Saudi Government held a joint Great Futures Leadership Summit in London. It was the largest gathering of UK and Saudi Ministers and included the signing of a number of commercial deals between the UK and Saudi Arabia.

One of these deals was the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding that involves IER providing research, evaluation, training and advice to the Saudi Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development to support the Saudi Government’s Vision 2030. This Vision aims to increase the proportion of Saudis in the labour market, including boosting female employment participation.

IER’s input will centre on improving skills analysis and enhancing job quality in Saudi Arabia.
