The UNDP's Regional Innovation Team in the Arab States, a long-time supporter of behavioural science, has teamed up with the Behavioural Insights Team (BIT) to launch a year-long capacity-building project in ten Arab countries[1]. The goal is for UNDP Country Offices and its partners to be able to design and test behavioural interventions to encourage youth and women to start businesses in the region.<br /><br />We recently co-hosted a webinar at the United Nations Behavioural Science Week 2021, where we presented preliminary findings from the research and encouraged UNDP colleagues in participating Country Offices to reflect on their experiences so far. Below, we give three takeaways on what it takes to apply behavioural science to complicated problems and the need of testing across borders.<br /><br />Behavioral science is being used to combat one of the world's highest rates of youth unemployment.<br /><br />Approximately one out of every four young individuals in Arab countries is unemployed. For the past three decades, this country's unemployment rate has been higher than the rest of the world, and it has been worse since the COVID-19 pandemic began. In Arab countries, half of young women are jobless or in education or training (NEET)[2], and they are twice as likely to be unemployed as men. Entrepreneurship can help young people improve their prospects[3], particularly for young women who face a number of additional barriers to becoming entrepreneurs, such as restrictive social norms, caring responsibilities, a lack of business-relevant networks, and difficulty accessing finance and training.<br /><br />At its core, entrepreneurship entails a set of actions, such as developing a (new) product or service, opening a bank account, requesting for a loan, and formally registering one's business, to mention a few. Each UNDP Country Office will implement and learn from a pilot intervention in one of three areas during the project, with the goal of scaling findings to broader target populations with the help of national partners:<br /><br />Entrepreneurship training programmes: Encouraging more participation of youth who would not normally apply to training programmes, such as those from rural areas (Libya) or those with disabilities (Syria), and providing redesigned training to assist would-be entrepreneurs in coming up with more innovative ideas (Iraq).<br /><br />Access to finance: Encouraging women entrepreneurs, particularly those in rural regions, to create bank accounts (Tunisia), including with microfinance institutions (Djibouti), use mobile money services (Morocco), and engage in better financial planning (Morocco) (Lebanon).<br /><br />Encourage entrepreneurs to formally register their enterprises through minimising friction in administrative processes, among other things (Jordan, Somalia, Sudan).<br /><br />While providing clear and understandable information is a popular method of delivering a behavioural intervention, there are alternative options, as indicated in the figure below. Interventions by the UNDP Country Office fall into five categories:<br /><br /><br /><br />Three key takeaways from the process thus far<br /><br />1. Take your time and explain the issue in terms of behaviour.<br /><br />A good issue definition is at the foundation of every successful solution, but in the case of behavioural therapies, it might take a long time.<br /><br />\"The use of scientific methodologies to better understand human behaviours and circumstances can be challenging,\" according to the UN Behavioural Science Report. \"The use of behavioural science may require more time to set up and produce results than more traditional approaches.\" This complexity must be acknowledged at all levels and taken into account when making planning decisions.\"<br /><br />It's also easy to leap to remedies before fully comprehending the issue and defining it in behavioural terms.<br /><br /><br /><br />Taking a complicated subject and breaking it down into particular behavioural questions<br /><br />Complex problems, such as 'financial inclusion' or 'women's empowerment,' are often broken down into a set of particular questions and target behaviours using behavioural techniques. It's not easy to pick a behaviour that will have an impact, be strategic to target, and be measurable. Investing time in the behavioural diagnostic, on the other hand, is critical to later devising a solid treatment.<br /><br />2. Double-check your assumptions<br /><br />Martin Eccles, an implementation researcher, used to mock practitioners by claiming that the most common change model followed the ISLAGIATT principle — a made-up acronym that stands for 'It Seemed Like A Good Idea At the Time.'<br /><br />What he meant was that too often, practitioners develop interventions based on their own beliefs, personal experience, and intuition, which can result in a waste of valuable resources.<br /><br />We began the project by compiling an evidence review in order to tailor our capacity-building efforts to the local environment and to inform the development of country-level actions. While any serious behavioural study necessitates inquiry and adaptation to the local environment, existing evidence may be a great source of inspiration and a fantastic approach to test hypotheses right away.<br /><br /><a href=\"https://it-s.com/our-services/2d-3d-modeling/3d-product-models/\" target=\"_blank\">https://it-s.com/our-services/2d-3d-modeling/3d-product-models/</a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />We urged our colleagues to set aside any preconceived beliefs and research the existing academic and grey literature[4] for diverse perspectives on the behavioural issue they were trying to solve (and potential solutions). There is a frequent misconception that women are more risk-averse than men, for example. However, there is mounting evidence that this is not the case. Instead, girls assess risk in a different way than their male colleagues.

Pay attention, experience, and comprehend<br /><br />Interviewing members of the target group is generally one of the most satisfying and cost-effective methods for gaining a better knowledge of the context and the reasons why people do not do a desired behaviour (e.g. go to a bank or register a business).<br /><br />Our UNDP Tunisia colleagues travelled to the country's south to engage with rural women entrepreneurs. They discovered that the women viewed financial institutions as \"black boxes,\" and that they mistrusted them.

In Bellow’s novel Seize the Day, Tommy Adler “the ungainly, enduring moderately aged legend of the book, is the unfortunate beneficiary in present war fiction on the disappointment of the American Dream” (Richmond 15). Tommy forsakes his family and attempts to copy his father. Notwithstanding, his father’s compulsiveness and inclination for evasion of his child prompt the hero’s physical and mental freedom. Besides, the similarity of their ways of life and mentalities shows that their cognizance, sub-cognizant, and brain sciences take after a similar schedule.\nTommy is an exceptionally entangled hero whose way conduct can be comprehended by an analyst. As Leroux states, “peace, quietness, amicability appear to be perilous sedatives to … Tommy Wilhelm” (13).
