MENA Future:Trends & Challanges

The Middle East and North Africa (MENA), for a variety of reasons, are unrivaled in their need for bold, creative thinking about their future. By any measure, the region faces great challenges as we stand in 2021 and look ahead to the next five years and beyond.



investments are also pivotal in building critical infrastructure, a key element in strong economies, such as power, telecommunication, schools, hospitals and clinics, housing and transport. Reconstruction and recovery projects are especially important for countries to rebuild their communities after conflicts. By establishing adequate infrastructure, countries can capitalize on their resources to boost bilateral trade. 

MENA are not immune from any of these developing phenomena and, in some instances, they are at greater risk than other regions to their effects. The impact of drought and water scarcity, punishing temperatures, and rising sea levels will all stress regional governments and societies while conflicts, low levels of intra-regional cooperation, weak governing institutions, and dysfunctional societies inhibit effective response.

 most important is the investment in empowering the region’s human capital through education, healthcare, housing, employment, gender equality and social projection programs. Funds can be utilized to alleviate human suffering and prevent loss of life in the aftermath of conflicts or natural disasters, in the form of food and water, shelter and medical assistance. 

 Kevin Kelly, founder of Wired magazine, made the case for strategic foresight in his characteristically incisive way. “It is extremely difficult,” he said, “to create a desirable future without first envisioning it. To imagine is really the first step in creating anything. Therefore an essential chore for making a future we want to live in, is to imagine what it is like and how we get there. That plausible path is a form of optimism. This optimistic previsualization is a necessary component of change"

International measures to address global challenges, especially efforts to move away from fossil fuels and toward renewable energy sources, will challenge the ability of regional governments to adjust their strategies and put in place the policies needed to protect their societies and their populations while exacerbating regional tensions

 such investments tend to accumulate and compound over decades, leading to long-term growth and stability.

Educational programs, vocational education programs and training workshops remain a priority spending area to equip people with the necessary knowledge and skills to thrive in the labor market.

Oil Storage Terminals: The Strategic Backbone of Global Energy Trade

 Oil storage terminals are critical infrastructure within the global energy ecosystem, serving as the foundation for oil logistics, strategic trade, and energy security. These facilities go far beyond functioning as mere warehouses for crude oil or refined products—they are sophisticated, multifunctional hubs that support international trade flows, offer stability during periods of market volatility, and empower nations and businesses with strategic flexibility in energy management, processing, and distribution. The strategic importance of these terminals lies in their ability to balance supply and demand, particularly during geopolitical disruptions, natural calamities, or seasonal consumption shifts. Countries with robust terminal infrastructure can stockpile reserves, safeguarding against global oil shocks and reducing their vulnerability to supply chain interruptions. Moreover, terminals provide vital commercial opportunities—traders and refiners can buy oil at lower prices, st...

Green Gender Green

In the absence of appropriate social policies, the green economy may exacerbate existing gender inequities to the detriment of overall sustainability. In the developing world, women are often the primary agricultural producers. As farmers, entrepreneurs, producers, consumers and household managers, women are key for implementing low-carbon strategies – and thus important agents of change. Structural gender inequality needs to be addressed to assure the well-being of women, the successful transition to a green economy and the achievement of sustainable development . Market-based approaches that emphasize economic growth have tended to exploit and marginalize women in both developed and developing countries in their roles as workers, consumers and citizens. For green growth strategies to succeed, equity issues must be fully addressed.The green economy offers a possibility for a more equitable sharing of revenue between men and women, capital and labour, and rich and poor ...
