Vision 2030
Riyadh's reform agenda
Vision 2030 is a strategic development plan, typically government-sponsored, setting ambitious national goals for the year 2030.
Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 is the most prominent, aiming to diversify the economy beyond oil.
Other countries have adopted similar frameworks: Kenya's Vision 2030 focuses on industrialization.
The phrase has become shorthand for long-term national transformation agendas.
