Middle East / North Africa and the Millennium Development Goals ity rates. Whether DC in the water sector also contributes to other MDGs depends on the concrete shape given to the measures it uses. There is, though, evidence that in most cases positive indirect effects are achieved over the short or long run for nearly all of the MDGs (Bliss 2004; Neubert / Horlemann 2005). – It is more difficult to state with any degree of certainty which MDGs may be positively affected by DC measures in the WiRAM priority sector. A good number of very different measures are subsumed under WiRAM, and they may be targeted directly on poverty reduction, restructuring and improvement of the functioning of markets, enhancement of competition in markets, or privatization of publicly owned enterprises. In other words, the indirect purpose of these measures is to boost growth and to reduce poverty. Success here will depend above all on whether the measures taken (i) are appropriate to the situation in the partner country in question, (i) are keyed to actual problems, and (iii) are implemented consistently. Nevertheless, the following reflections are based on the assumption that in its WiRAM priority sector German DC may, at least in general terms, provide a direct or indirect contribution to reducing income poverty (Target 1). If this in fact succeeds, there is good reason to anticipate positive effects on the proportion of the population suffering from hunger. In addition, the concrete measures taken by German DC in the priority sector of WiRAM also aim, in all MENA countries, at reducing unemployment and improving the market-regulation picture. Overview 7 is based on these assumptions. It compares the priorities of German DC in the MENA region with the state of the Millennium process in the individual partner countries. The overview first looks at the economic problem solving-capacity of these countries, distinguishing between low-income countries (Yemen, Mauritania) and middle-income countries (Egypt, Algeria, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, the Palestinian Territories, Syria, Tunisia). In addition, it lists separately the potential priority partner countries and partner countries of German DC in the MENA region (Iraq, Iran, Sudan). It omits the countries which, thanks to their high per capital incomes, are in possession of very pronounced capacities to solve their problems of their own and are therefore not seen as potential partner countries for German DC.
