Data Dashboard
Filter by country, topic, year and indicator. Every chart states where its numbers came from, who collected them, what they mean, what they do not measure, and when they were last updated — and exports as CSV with all of that attached.
What is in here, and what is not
Fourteen indicator series covering inflation, unemployment, youth unemployment, GDP and GDP per capita, electricity access, education spending, freshwater availability, women's political and economic participation, population, and forced displacement. Eleven come from the World Bank World Development Indicators; three — refugees hosted, asylum seekers and internally displaced people — come from the UNHCR Refugee Data Finder. Both were retrieved on 2 August 2026.
Three topics still have no chart at all: press freedom, conflict and reconstruction, and hours of electricity supply. Selecting those topics shows an explanation of why the data is missing and a link to the source that publishes it. No figure is shown for Palestine in the displacement series either, because those refugees are registered with UNRWA rather than UNHCR — the Palestine page explains this. Nothing on this page is estimated, modelled by MENA Insight, interpolated or filled in.
How to read anything on this page
An indicator is a definition before it is a number
"Access to electricity" means having a connection, not having power. "Unemployment" excludes people who stopped looking for work. "Renewable internal freshwater" excludes rivers flowing in from other countries, which is why Egypt's figure looks impossibly low. Each chart prints its definition and its main limitation directly underneath, because those are usually more important than the number.
Gaps are drawn as gaps
Where no value was published for a country-year, the line breaks and the table shows a dash. MENA Insight does not interpolate, smooth or carry values forward. Sudan's unemployment series ending in 2022 and Lebanon's ending in 2023 are facts about what is known, and hiding them would be a distortion.
Modelled estimates are not measurements
The unemployment and labour-force series are ILO modelled estimates, harmonised so countries can be compared. That harmonisation is what makes comparison possible and also what makes any single country-year figure less precise than a national survey. Both things are true at once.
