The process of political change and
transition across much of the Middle East and North Africa
(MENA) continued into 2013, with a great degree of
heterogeneity across countries. Violence in Syria has
escalated, with spillover effects to Lebanon and Jordan.
Security in Yemen is fragile but a national dialogue has
started which includes the drafting of a new constitution in
advance of national elections. In MENA's transitioning
countries drafting of new constitutions remains a critical
pending issue. Citizens voices continue to be heard across
the region calling for greater public participation and open
government. The region's main challenge is to create
sustainable growth that delivers the quantity and quality of
jobs needed. An inclusive and competitive private sector has
proven to be one of the most effective and long-term
solutions for unemployment, and will be critical in tackling
the scale of the problem in MENA. |
