As discussed in chapter I, the region has been facing serious economic, political and social challenges that affect its abilities to move towards inclusive socio-economic development. The social issues that the ESCWA region is currently facing, which are linked to high youth unemployment rates, high population growth and unplanned rural to urban migration, are compounded by serious environmental challenges, including water scarcity, drought and desertification. This represents a major obstacle to the achievement of comprehensive sustainable development with its three pillars, namely economic, social and environmental.
