bodyText: (
<div>
<p className='undp-typography'>
Eradicating poverty, reducing inequality within and between countries
and ensuring that no one is left behind are central to the 2030 Agenda
for Sustainable Development and UNDP's work.
</p>
<p className='undp-typography'>
Data suggests that the challenge ahead is increasingly daunting. The
on-going polycrisis the world finds itself, not least the climate and
debt crises, are reversing decades of progress. After thirty years of
continuous decline, the global share of people experiencing extreme
poverty - living on less than $2.15 a day- surged from 8.4 percent in
2019 to 9.3 percent in 2020<sup>1</sup> as a result of COVID-19, while
the combined effects of the pandemic, the war in Ukraine and ensuing
cost-of-living crisis, might have pushed 75 million more people into
extreme poverty between 2020 and the end of 2023.<sup>2</sup>
</p>
<p className='undp-typography'>
If current trends continue, 575 million people will still be living in
extreme poverty in 2030<sup>3</sup>. Furthermore, 1.1 billion people
in 110 developing countries continue to live in multidimensional
poverty.<sup>4</sup> Human development has fallen back to its 2016
levels while the average global loss in human development achievements
- health, education, and income - due to inequality is 19.4 percent
<sup>5</sup>.
</p>
<p className='undp-typography'>
Global income inequality, as measured by the global Gini Index dropped
from about 70 in 1990 to 62 in 2019, but rose by 0.7 in 2020, as
poorer countries were hit harder than richer countries and less able
to provide social protection for the most vulnerable and preserve jobs
and livelihoods<sup>6</sup>. Inequalities of opportunity continue to
persist due to gender, age and other factors, both within and between
countries.
</p>
<p className='undp-typography'>
Climate change worsens both poverty and inequality. The income losses
from climate hazards of the bottom 40% are estimated to be 70% larger
than the average in low- and middle-income countries.
<sup>7</sup>
</p>
<p className='undp-typography'>
Despite increased vulnerabilities, only 28.9 percent of people in need
- all children, along with people of working age and older people not
covered by social insurance - receive social assistance<sup>8</sup>.
Prior to COVID-19, 70 percent of workers in developing and low-income
countries were informal workers. In 2022, informal employment in least
developed countries (LDCs) stood at 89.7 percent in 2022 - against 58
percent globally, with no improvement since 2015<sup>9</sup>. This
underscores the urgency of inclusive and shock-responsive social
protection systems.
</p>
<p className='undp-typography'>
Poverty and inequality reduction prospects are further undermined by
soaring debt levels. About 60% of low-income developing countries are
in debt distress or at high risk of debt distress<sup>10</sup>. The
average low-income country spends about 2.3 times more on interest
payments than on social assistance
<sup>11</sup>.

<p className='undp-typography'>
Gender inequality is one of the most persistent and pervasive
challenges of our time. Stressors and shocks - including the climate
emergency, conflicts, the economic and debt crisis, the COVID-19
pandemic and more - aggravate the situation for women and girls all
over the world. In some countries, women's rights are rolling
back and a backlash against gender equality is reversing previous
progress. This has impacts on lives and livelihoods, resilience, and
sustainability, everywhere.
</p>
<p className='undp-typography'>
The Gender Inequality Index (GII) reveals a lack of global
improvement, with the world value stagnating at 0.465 for the past
three years. Women's labour force participation is 46%: women
face disparities in earnings, savings, and job security, and they are
overrepresented in the informal sector. Women spend three times more
hours on unpaid care work than men which, translated into labour
market terms, would amount to 2.2 billion full-time jobs annually.
</p>
<p className='undp-typography'>
Social norms help us understand imbalances and dynamics of power
behind inequalities. Biased gender social norms are widespread
worldwide: almost 90% of people still have at least one bias against
women. Almost half the world's people think that men make better
political leaders than women do - which sheds light on why only 11% of
heads of state are women, and women hold only 22% of ministerial posts
and 25% of parliamentary seats. More than a quarter of the
world's population believe that it is justifiable for a man to
beat his wife, and 26% of women over age 15 have experienced intimate
partner violence.

Governance is the system of values, policies and institutions by which
a society manages its economic, political and social affairs through
interactions within and among the state, civil society and private
sector. It is the way a society organizes itself to make and implement
decisions and comprises the mechanisms and processes for citizens and
groups to articulate their interests, mediate their differences and
exercise their legal rights and obligations. UNDP works to support
accountable, effective and inclusive institutions and processes and
ensure access to justice for all in order to accelerate the
achievement of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

UNDP's work on governance includes promoting inclusive and
future-smart public goods and services, democratic institutions and
processes, an inclusive public sphere as well as integrating
governance principles into development polices and programmes. Working
at global, regional and national levels, UNDP works to promote the
rule of law and human rights and enable more people centered justice

The Arab States region comprises 20 countries with diverse economies-
including high-income, middle-income, least-developed, and
crisis-affected countries- and varying human development patterns with
countries in the very high human development group, including KSA,
UAE, Bahrain, and Qatar, and countries in the low human development
countries - including Sudan, Djibouti, and Yemen. Despite facing
conflicts, political and economic instability, and forced
displacement, the region had been, before COVID-19, on a positive
human development trajectory with a consistently increasing Human
Development Index since 1990. Nonetheless, the pandemic compounded
socio-economic vulnerabilities and reversed this progress, with the
HDI dropping from 0.715 in 2019 to 0.708 in 2021, below the global HDI
of 0.732. The unemployment rate also rose to 12.6% in the Arab States
region, more than double the world average of 6.2%. The youth
unemployment rate (15-24 years old), at 28.6 percent was the highest
in the world, rising steeply from 25.3 percent in 2019.
</p>
<p className='undp-typography'>
Furthermore, despite advancements in girls’ school enrolment and
women’s educational achievements in the region over the past
three decades, the Arab States region still has the second widest
gender gap in the world after South Asia as measured by the Gender
Development Index (GDI), with women achieving 12.9 % less in human
development than men in 2021. Women’s political and economic
participation is still very limited across the region, with, on
average, less than one in five women in parliament and only 19.3%
participating in the labor force, 3.6 times lower than men.
