In a recent report released by the “Social Progress Imperative” organization based in the United States, Oman has made significant progress in the global social progress rankings. The Sultanate has climbed an impressive 18 spots in the 2024 Global Social Progress Index, reaching the 68th position compared to its 80th place in the previous index issued in 2022.
The Social Progress Index evaluates countries based on their ability to meet the basic needs of their citizens, enhance their quality of life, and sustain these improvements over time. Oman’s improved ranking reflects its commitment to advancing social well-being and creating a better future for its people.
Denmark secured the top spot in the index, followed closely by Norway and Finland. On the other end of the spectrum, South Sudan found itself at the bottom of the rankings, with the Central African Republic following closely behind.
The index provides a comprehensive assessment of a country’s social and environmental performance, focusing on well-being, opportunities, and basic human needs. It offers valuable insights into a nation’s progress towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals set by the United Nations.
Oman’s advancement in the Global Social Progress Index is a testament to its efforts in promoting social welfare and improving the lives of its citizens. As the Sultanate continues to prioritize social development, it is poised to make further strides in enhancing the well-being of its population and securing a brighter future for all.
