The Middle East and North Africa is experiencing a demographic youth surge that, depending on how governments respond, could present a liability or an exciting possibility to shape a new generation’s future. The Atlantic Council’s Middle East Strategy Task Force (MEST), a bipartisan Atlantic Council initiative co-chaired by former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright and former National Security Advisor Stephen Hadley, believes that the United States can help catalyze positive developments that are happening in the region to benefit and take advantage of the region’s youth. MEST seeks to develop a long-term framework for US policy in the Middle East to support a stable, prosperous order based on legitimate, well-governed states that embrace the talent and potential of their people.
