I don't have a solution -- which is why I called for a discussion -- but in this specific context, I think a lot of this comes back to framing this with regards to local value systems. This is a good starting point:
Another good starting point is prestige and how it impacts perceptions of individuals involved.
A lot of the framing in this discussion carry a lot of Western baggage which is likely to rub people the wrong way in the Middle East.
I can think of several solutions which I think could at least be more effective than what the West is doing; I do think there is room for prestige projects here. I'm not sure how helpful that would be, since in terms of "implementing," I don't know any Saudi royalty. Do you?
