Unfortunately both Libya and Egypt are experiencing the consequences of the Arab spring uprisings, and now they are facing the resultsof the war; after thousands of dies per day and a high percentage of the population living among the violence, explosions, corruption and injustice every day; both countries look forward to find the possible decisions to get the country back on track for its international competitiveness in the different areas, restore internal order and establish a way to bring the country to change to improvethe living conditions of the population and so to lead the country to prosperity and full development.
The Millennium Development Goals are overriding to the UNDP for its international commitment to provide aid to underdeveloped countries to achieve its goals to further development.
