The work of the MENA-OECD Investment Programme is developed and implemented by the five working groups, which fall under the supervision of the Steering Group, and in close co-ordination with the country economic teams.
The working groups chaired by each country in the MENA region, along with a co-chair from an OECD country. Officials and experts from OECD countries are expected to actively participate in the working groups, which are open to all countries, varying depending on the interest, capacity, and commitment of individual MENA countries.
The MENA-OECD Investment Programme is structured into the following working groups:
Working Group 1 Investment Policy and Promotion
Working Group 2 SME Policy, Entrepreneurship and Human Capital Development
Working Group 3 Tax Policy and Administration
Working Group 4 Financial Sector Development and Economic Diversification
Working Group 5 Corporate Governance
Each working group focuses on concrete actions and time-bound results, combined with an on-going monitoring and support system that involves
-
taking stock of the current reform efforts in MENA countries
-
developing concrete country action plans
-
monitoring the implementation of policy reforms
This could ultimately allow the introduction of peer reviews among the MENA countries.
