Social Sustainability Challenges in Kuwait | Dr. Sami Al-Adwani Reveals the Behind-the-Scenes of the DAL Project – Part 2

Why do some community initiatives fail despite their good intentions? And how do planning and data gaps affect sustainability?

Dr. Sami Al-Adwani explains the real challenges behind the DAL project. In the second part of the “Café Arabi” interview, we continue the conversation with sustainability expert Dr. Sami Al-Adwani about the DAL project, but this time from a different angle: the angle of challenges, the gap between ambition and execution, and the transition from plans to real impact.

Key topics discussed in this episode:

  • Why do some plans fail despite their brilliance?

  • The role and quality of data in decision-making.

  • Funding challenges for long-term, knowledge-based initiatives.

  • How to build community sustainability based on reality rather than wishes.

  • DAL’s ambition to become a house of expertise and a knowledge reference in social sustainability.

  • Extending the Kuwaiti model toward the Gulf and the wider region.

This episode complements Part 1, which covered DAL’s philosophy and its role in community work.
