The seminar is part of a series of focused regional activities aimed at addressing core common challenges in the field of civil service and integrity that have been identified by Arab countries. The seminar’s key objective was to support policy makers from Arab countries in designing their reform approaches aimed at enhancing the performance and integrity of their civil servants.
The seminar gave participants from OECD and Arab Countries the opportunity to share good practices, identify common principles and develop a common language regarding the following key challenges:
-
How can the performance of civil servants be enhanced through the use of contractual employment as well as performance evaluation and promotion systems that provide effective incentives?
-
How can the integrity of civil servants be enhanced by effectively identifying and resolving conflict of interest situations?
