The Regional Bureau for Arab States of the United Nations Development Programme is launching the sixth edition of the Arab Human Development Report (AHDR) series, due to be published in May 2015.
AHDR 2015 aims to discuss relevant issues associated with youth, in particular aspirations, challenges, trends and future outlook across the Arab region. In order to make an important leap forward in human development, the Report will address the structural challenges imposed on young Arab people, many of which are struggling to successfully transition through life’s milestones, whether academic, social, professional or economic. Even though the overall progress in human development in the Arab region is increasing, as evident by the health, economic and education indices among a number others, the path leading to adulthood is taking the Arab youth longer to complete, and is marked by several impediments. The Arab region, home to the youngest population in the world, has one of the highest unemployment rates with a regional average of 28% of which first time job seekers represent 50%. The youth’s involvement in the protests and demonstrations since 2011 can be seen as an expression of their frustration with the existing institutions and norms that have denied them economic and social opportunities and a political voice.
AHDR 2015 will serve as an advocacy tool for human delevopment, and as a tool to foster dialogue and debate on some of the challenging issues facing the youth of the Arab region. To this end, a specialized Communications and Social Media Strategist is needed to ensure a high level of visibility for the Report’s messages. She / He will develop a communication strategy targeting the key audiences identified for the Report and the general public, and devise and oversee the implementation of an action plan for the effective launch and dissemination of the Report.
