Empowering Futures: Malaysia-China GDI collaboration for human capital growth

This innovative alliance is set to accelerate advancements in key areas such as healthcare, education, and productivity, signalling a new era of international collaboration aimed at unlocking the full potential of human capital on a global scale.

The World Bank’s Human Capital Index (HCI) is crucial for predicting a nation’s future productivity. Through the GDI collaboration, both countries seek to raise the HCI by prioritising advancements in health, education, and survival rates in line with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the World Bank Human Capital Project for human capital growth.
