RELEVANT EXPERIENCE

Current responsibilities include directing the substantive program of the Social Research Center (SRC), fund raising and overseeing the execution of SRC grants (A typical cycle of 3 years, will include an average of 30 grants with a budget of around $4 millions) as well as active participation in research.

Personal research interests are in the areas of development studies, gender issues, reproductive health, demographic analysis and evaluation of impact of health interventions.

The current substantive program of the Center emphasizes two directions. The first is a regional orientation producing quality comparative research, providing multidisciplinary population/health training and building close regional ties. The second is a policy support direction, where the research produced by SRC is influencing policies and SRC is a resource center linking research with action.

RELEVANT EXPERIENCE (continued)

Examples of activities that have been initiated and directed by myself include:

a) A regional research program (1997-2005) on the ‘New Arab Demography’ investigating the change in the demographic landscape in the Arab region and the consequences of such a change at the aggregate, household and individual levels. Identifying emerging new agenda for research and recommendations for future polices figure highly in this research program.

b) Institutionalizing two regional training programs. The first is a three week course on “Reproductive Health in Arab Countries: From Science to Action”. It has been held annually since 1997. It emphasizes a better understanding of development concerns in the Arab region, the importance of the “Reproductive Health” agenda, as well as the role of empirical knowledge and skills for setting up regional priorities. The second training program is a three-month course on “Research Methods for Policy Formulation and Evaluation”. This course was initiated in 1998. It emphasizes new skills for designing research plans, collection and analysis of data as well as the movement from data to policy formulation end evaluation. The demands on these courses are quite high (up to the year 2000, 152 participants have joined the programs) and its Arab outreach is quite varied, covering participants from 13 Arab countries.

c) A program of “Research for Development” to bridge the link between research and action. The program is a five-year activity with funding to the tune of $1,750,000. It administers open research competition, commissions background study papers, evaluates interventions and hold discussion meetings.

d) Strong regional ties with scholars and institutions in the region through a program of research internships, support and collaborative efforts. Examples of institutional collaborators include: Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics, American University of Beirut, Yemen Central Bureau of Statistics, Ahfad University in Sudan…

Other experiences include:

Management of a regional project (PAPCHILD). The project was a major undertaking in the Arab region executed by the League of Arab States and supported by AGFUND, UNFPA, UNICEF, WHO, and IPPF, with the long term objective of improving the health and social status of the mother and child. The mechanisms adopted by the project included three elements of:

a) A survey operation involving the conduct of national retrospective cross- sectional surveys using standard modules and latest methodological and technical development.

b) A training component on utilization of survey findings in policy formulation as well as the transfer of survey technology.

c) A research component involving a series of workshops and illustrative analysis.
