Capabilities, Opportunities and Participation : Gender Equality and Development in the Middle East and North Africa Region
Many countries in the Middle East and
North Africa (MENA) region are undergoing a profound
transformation. From Bahrain to Yemen, from Tunisia to
Egypt, popular movements are calling for political change
and a more inclusive development path that will provide
ordinary citizens with greater voice, social and economic
freedom, and government accountability. Young men and women
have been visibly at the forefront of these calls for
change, and continue to participate actively. This quick
note is based on the overview of the regional report with
the same title which complements the 2012 World Development
Report (WDR) on gender equality and development. The WDR
highlighted the influence and interconnectedness of markets,
formal and informal institutions and households in
determining gender outcomes. Following the WDR, the report,
which will go through a series of consultations in the
countries in the region, draws on economic analysis of
quantitative data from countries in the region, qualitative
research and international evidence. The final report will
identify policy directions to better exploit the benefits of
a more inclusive development path.
