This topic focuses on the intertwined challenges of extreme poverty and inequality in Africa and the Middle East, emphasising how these issues are exacerbated by ongoing conflicts. In these regions, pervasive poverty and stark inequality create fragile social structures that are further destabilised by war and violence. Conflicts in these areas profoundly affect civilian life, disrupting livelihoods, access to essential services, and social cohesion. The resulting humanitarian crises lead to increased displacement, reduced educational opportunities, and hindered economic development. The social fabric is often torn apart, making recovery and sustainable development even more difficult. Delegates are tasked with exploring strategies to alleviate poverty and inequality in conflict-affected regions. This includes discussing how to protect and support civilian populations during conflicts and rebuilding and strengthening social structures in the aftermath. The debate will also consider international cooperation and aid, economic policies, and long-term development plans to foster resilience and equitable growth in these regions.
