UNESCO Youth Focal Points in Arab States
http://portal.unesco.org/shs/en/ev.php-URL_ID=11127&URL_DO=DO_TOPIC&URL_SECTION=201.html
UNESCO has nominated individual country focal points (coordinators) for its work on youth in the Arab States in an effort to increase effectiveness.

The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP): Arab States
www.undp.org/arabstates/youth.shtml
Unlike in any of the other UNDP regions, youth appears as a thematic priority on the regional portal. UNDP in the region organizes Regional Programs Mainstreaming Youth, a Youth Workshop Series, and the Promotion of Youth at the Country Level.

The World Bank

The World Bank does not appear to have a specific priority focus on youth in this region. Bank programs focusing on education and employment creation in this region, though, can be considered relevant to youth.
