Home to two thirds of humanity, including most of its poor, ours is a region on the move. Societies and nations are changing rapidly fuelled by fast growing economies and the spread of information technologies.

At one level, these changes have generated dynamism, prosperity and hope. But a closer look reveals many remaining gaps and disparities. Unless these are addressed, the region's march to progress can be stalled – or reversed – by social unrest, pandemics, political violence (including terrorism), corruption and environmental damage.
