Opening Doors Gender Equality and development in the middle east and north Africa
Abstract
This report is a regional companion piece to the World Development Report 2012: Gender Equality and Development, and was completed under the guidance of Inger Andersen, Vice President, Middle East and North Africa Region, World Bank.
The overview of the report greatly benefited from a series of consultations with stakeholders in the MENA Region. Early consultations were held with Kuwait and Tunisia followed by in-country consultations in October 2011 in the Arab Republic of Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Tunisia,and the Palestinian Territories. By and large, the gender challenges identified in the overview and the report were endorsed. The salience of legal constraints to women’s participation outside the home was a recurring theme. The team would like to gratefully acknowledge the inputs and feedback of all participants, and hope that these are reflected in the full report
