Arab Human Development Reports (AHDRs) engage institutions and citizens in the Arab countries in global
concerns so as to build understanding and consensus around regional and national development priorities.
They also identify disadvantaged groups of population and regions and suggest policies, strategies and
opportunities for investment to benefit them. They target Arab decision-makers and opinion leaders in
governments and civil societies.
As instruments for measuring human progress and triggering action for change, the AHDRs feed into and
draw upon the data and analysis of the global Human Development Reports. Taking the human development
approach to the regional level, the AHDRs promote regional partnerships for influencing change and
region-specific approaches to human rights, poverty, education, economic reform, HIV/AIDS, and
globalization.
Prepared and owned by Arabs as an advocacy tool designed to appeal to a wide audience,
they spur public debates and mobilize support for action and change through processes of consultation,
research and report writing. They have helped to articulate perceptions and priorities in the region, and
have served as a source of alternate policy opinion for development planning across varied themes.
