Long abstract

Governance Forum, was held on 22 November 2009 in Marrakech, offering the opportunity for policy-makers, experts, and representatives from civil society and media to debate on governance for economic recovery and sustainable growth, taking into consideration the needs of citizens, programmes of the public administration, the demands of society, and the environmental challenges. It was also an occasion to support national reform through joint learning and to develop further effective mechanisms for regional and international cooperation.

The forum was organised around two important themes: “making governments effective in delivering sustainable and inclusive economic growth”, and “emerging challenges for successful policy implementation, involving local authorities, civil society and the media.”
