Annual SDG Review 2024: Skills development, innovation and the private sector in the Arab region
March 2024
The ESCWA Annual SDG Review 2024, the third in the series, explores skills development, innovation and the private sector in the Arab region. Building on available information and data, the report offers insights into regional trends and gaps, supported by examples and case studies from selected Arab countries. It also builds on the results of a survey on innovation and skills development in private enterprises in the Arab region, conducted by ESCWA in October 2023, as well as on a reading of sustainability reports from selected companies from the region.
The Review provides a snapshot of skills development and innovation landscapes in the Arab region, assesses what the private sector is doing in each of the two domains, analyses the challenges it faces, and provides guidance on actions needed to address current gaps.
