Our Team

Our team is a network of regional experts, coordinators, and national project teams who work collaboratively across the Arab States, drawing on a wealth of local knowledge and deep relationships with communities, institutions, and governments. Guided by UNDP’s commitment to sustainable development, our team works hand-in-hand with UNDP’s country offices across the region, ensuring that each initiative is tailored to meet the unique needs and aspirations of local populations.


This structure allows the UNDP Regional Programme for Arab States to bridge regional expertise with on-the- ground action. Our team is uniquely positioned to address shared development challenges, such as youth empowerment, inclusive economic growth, climate resilience, and governance, while fostering a region-wide approach to knowledge-sharing and collaboration. By linking global development strategies with regional priorities, we help countries access innovative solutions and resources that drive long-term change.


Our team brings together specialists from diverse fields—including economic development, governance,environmental sustainability, and social inclusion—who provide cross-cutting support across the region.


Through collaborative approaches and multi-stakeholder partnerships, we harness the full capacity of UNDP to advance the Sustainable Development Goals and build resilient, inclusive communities. By strengthening institutional capacities and working closely with governments and civil society, we support countries in setting and achieving ambitious development targets that address both immediate needs and future aspirations.
