Arab Human Development Report 2016: Youth and Development Prospects Year of publication: 2016 Corporate author: UNDP Arab States AHDR 2016 examines challenges and opportunities facing youth in the Arab region, especially since 2011, and seeks to provide an overview on youth in the region and stimulate a broad dialogue between youth and key stakeholders on the future of development in the region, focusing on the role of youth as critical partners at this very point in time.The point of departure of the report is the demographic fact that the current youth generation is the largest youth cohort this region has had over the past 50 years, making up 30% of its population of 370 million. The report argues that Arab countries can achieve a great leap forward in development, reinforce stability and secure such gains in a sustainable manner, if they adopt policies that give youth a stake in shaping their societies and put them at the centre—politically, socially and economically.The AHDR 2016 calls upon Arab countries to invest in their young people and empower them to engage in the development process as an urgent and critical priority in its own right and prerequisite to achieving sustainable development –a call that is particularly timely as Arab countries embark on formulating their plans to meet the goals of the Sustainable Development Agenda 2030. The report also calls for a youth-oriented development model that focuses simultaneously on building young people’s capabilities and expanding opportunities available to them, considering the achievement of peace and security at national and regional levels as a prerequisite for a future fit for youth. 
SDG 4 Data Digest: How to Produce and Use the Global and Thematic Education Indicators Year of publication: 2019 Corporate author: UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS) This edition of the SDG 4 Data Digest from the UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS) aims to help countries develop and report the indicators needed to deliver on the promise of Sustainable Development Goal 4 – a quality education for all by 2030.It stresses the urgency: every child in the generation that should finish secondary education by the deadline should be in a primary classroom right now. Yet if current trends continue, and without a rapid shift from “business as usual”, one in six children aged 6 to 17 will still be out of school in 2030 while just six in ten youth will be completing secondary education. Moreover, there is an urgent need to improve the quality of education on offer. According to UIS estimates, 55% of children and adolescents of primary and lower secondary school age are not achieving minimum proficiency levels in reading and 60% are not acquiring critical skills in mathematics The investment case for education is clear and has been repeated time and time again: education reduces poverty, improves health and nutrition, advances equity and drives national prosperity. But education systems cannot function effectively without a clear picture of progress – or the lack of it – and without knowing who is missing out on education and why.To help ll such gaps, the Digest focuses on new methodologies to help countries build a full and accurate understanding of their own education successes and challenges while generating the internationally comparable data needed for global monitoring. Through these methodological tools, countries can track and accelerate progress on their own education priorities and contribute to the global achievement of SDG4.
