Evaluation of the Role of UNDP in the Net Contributor Countries of the Arab Region
This independent evaluation of the role of UNDP in the NCCs of the Arab region was commissioned by the Evaluation Office of UNDP. Its focus is on learning and the future role of UNDP among the group of countries. The key objective is to assess UNDP activities and programs in the Arab region NCCs in terms of addressing the development challenges of the countries and support their aspirations, and the implications of this experience for UNDP corporate policies and practices that relate to NCCs, as well as for its future activities in those NCCs.--Publisher's description.
Arab Human Development Report 2009
The Arab Human Development Report aims at building human development in the Arab world. Gender inequality is generally recognized as one of the main obstacles to development in the Arab Region. This volume of the report focuses on the history and contemporary dynamics of Arab women's economic, political, and social empowerment. It details the processes in which gender impacts on Arab development while suggesting means of overcoming some of the challenges and building more equitable societies.
Arab Human Development Report 2016
This report addresses the development challenges facing young people in the Arab region. The current young generation is the largest this region has had over the past 50 years, making up 30% of its population. In light of the youth-led movements during and after the 2011 uprisings, the report argues for a renewed policy focus on youth development in the region. It deals with the pillars of human development (income, education and health) with the attainment, achievement and equitable distribution of education, and with the challenges of finding stable and decent jobs. With protracted conflict in several Arab countries, young Arabs have become victims or perpetrators of violence, challenged by difficulties of mobility and migration. AHDR 2016 aims to engage youth in building a better future.

The Evaluation Office of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) conducted an independent evaluation of UNDP Regional Programme for Latin America and the Caribbean in 2012. The evaluation analysed the contributions made by the Regional Programme to development results during the programme period (2008-2013), and UNDP's strategic positioning in the region.
The Arab Human Development Report 2004
This is the third in a series of development reports which focus on the Arab world, based on the collective work of an independent group of scholars, policymakers and practitioners in the region. The 2004 report examines issues of freedom and human rights, good governance and political reform within Arab societies; considers the challenges and constraints involved in moves towards democratic reforms; and sets out a broad strategic vision for future progress. The report finds that despite some improvements in the human rights situation in some Arab countries, the overall picture in the region is grave and deteriorating. Key priorities for urgent action to reform governance practices are identified, including: the abolition of 'states of emergency' by governments in the region; ending all forms of discrimination against minority groups; and guaranteeing the independence of the judiciary.
The Arab Human Development Report 2005
The rise of women in Arab countries goes beyond redressing historical injustices against them and ensuring their equitable treatment - notwithstanding that both are due obligations for Arab societies. Indeed, the advancement of women is a pre-requisite for a comprehensive Arab renaissance. Arab countries have undoubtedly attained significant achievements in the advancement of women, but the ultimate objectives of this endeavour, as conceptualised in the Arab Human Development Reports, require further effort. Much more remains to be accomplished by way of enabling the equitable acquisition and utilisation of human capabilities and the exercise of human rights, before women's advancement can b...
Water Governance in the Arab Region
The current water situation in the Arab countries is alarming, with critical implications for the future of development in the region. The demand for water is increasing exponentially as a result of rapid population expansion, changing lifestyles, urbanization, and the pressures of economic growth. The high dependency of the region on transboundary waters and growing competition over water use further intensifies the water crisis. Furthermore, the repercussions of climate change, both current and projected, will exacerbate these ongoing challenges. The complex nexus between this fragile water situation, food security, and the energy sector further emphasizes the social, economic, and politic...
