The OECD Eurasia Competitiveness Programme involves the OECD, governments and the private sector in a comprehensive approach that involves regional dialogue, peer review, definition of reform priorities and assistance in implementation. Ownership by the region is reinforced by an organisational structure in which economies from Central Asia and Eastern Europe and the South Caucasus chair the Advisory Council and expert working groups.
The regional approach allows countries to define priorities and learn from their peers on how to design and implement successful policies and institutions. The OECD also supports countries in implementing reforms through business climate and sector-specific strategies targeted to their priorities.
The programme aims to:
- achieve political endorsement of a regional investment climate policy agenda
- develop national investment agendas that define investment climate priorities and encourage specific reforms
- support the implementation of reform
- encourage countries to adhere to the OECD Declaration on International Investment, and converge toward OECD and EC standards
- increase visibility of regional priorities, such as access to finance for small and medium-sized enterprises and corporate governance.
