The Deauville Partnership and the MENA-OECD Initiative
In May 2011 the G8 launched the Deauville Partnership as a response to the historical changes underway in several countries in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. While this transformation provides Transition Countries (Egypt, Jordan, Libya, Morocco, Tunisia, and Yemen) with unique opportunities, it also entails serious challenges in a time of economic adversity and political transition. Appropriate domestic policies and international support will be critical to building confidence and enabling the countries to over-come these challenges.

How does the OECD contribute?
- Policies for Small and Medium-Sized Entreprises: Advancing economic growth in the MENA region though the promotion of SMEs and entrepreneurship is a priority for Members of the Partnership. To this end, transition countries have been working with the OECD and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development on developing country-specific action plans to foster SME growth, improve job creation, including women’s entrepreneurship, and increase economic development.
