Saudi Arabia makes progress by slashing poverty in record time
By Mariam Al Hakeem, Correspondent
Riyadh: Saudi Arabia has succeeded in slashing poverty rates to half, said Khalid Al Qusaibi, Minister of Economy and Planning, in a statement published yesterday.
The kingdom has pledged to eradicate poverty by 2015.
Speaking at a function in Riyadh to mark the second national development objectives, the minister highlighted the success attained by the kingdom in meeting the development targets set by the UN, which were announced in 2000.
The report was prepared by the ministry of economy and planning in cooperation with the concerned Saudi government authorities and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).
Fund
In December 2002, the Saudi government established a poverty-fighting fund, following a visit made by King Abdullah Bin Abdul Aziz to some poor districts in Riyadh.
Studies prepared by the ministry of social affairs and independent researchers said poverty in the kingdom has a number of reasons, like low income, early retirements and lack of social awareness among poor families.
Al Qusaibi said the kingdom has attained progress in fighting poverty in a record time and even before 2015, the deadline set by the UN.
He said the targets include eradication of poverty, education, enhancing gender equality, reduction of immortality rate, improving the health situation of mothers, combating Aids, malaria and other diseases.

வெளிநாடுகளில் தீவிரவாதிகளை வளர்ப்பதற்கு செய்யும் செலவை நிறுத்தினாலே ஒரே நாளில் வறுமையை ஒழித்து விடலாம்.
தமுமுகவுக்கும் அல் உம்மாவுக்கும் கொடுக்கும் காசை நிறுத்தினாலே பல ஏழை சவுதி வீடுகளில் விளக்கெரியும்
அது சொர்க்கபூமி என்று சொல்லிக்கொண்டிருந்தார்களே ...
இல்லையா? :-)))
Saudi Poverty
Living Under Plastic, Homeless Saudis Talk of Their Plight
Essam Al-Ghalib, Arab News
JEDDAH, 2 April 2006 — Mousawa Ali, 53, left his wife and six children with his brother in Jizan and took a bus to Jeddah to look for work. That was six months ago.
As he himself will tell you, things have not gone according to plan, as by now, he had hoped to have been employed somewhere, making enough money to pay for a small apartment in which his family could live.
Instead, Mousawa now lives alone in a two-man tent that he bought for SR50 (Approx. $10.00).
We in the west have a stereotypical view of Saudi Arabia as a country filled with obscenely rich “sheikhs.” The reality is quite different. And while Saudi Arabia, as a country, has been doing very well as a result of high oil prices, those riches haven’t trickled down to all.
This story, by the very creditiable Essam Al-Ghalib, tells the story of a group of poor Saudis looking for work. They’re staying in an informal “camp ground” with a variety of third-country nationals, most of whom are seeking funds to return to their homes after performing pilgrimage. They live on one meal a day, supplemented by a lot of tea, and are eager for any job that would pay them as little as $400/month.
Do read this article to get an idea of the Saudi Arabia that’s almost never seen, and even more rarely imagined in the West.
