MENA › Governance › Workshop on Regulatory Policy Tools and Institutions in Practice

Workshop Participants
The Palestinian Authority is in the process of state building and implementing the “Palestinian National Plan (PNP) for 2011-13”.
This workshop was organised on the 5-7 July 2010 with the MENA-OECD Initiative in order to support this Plan. The project provides a platform to make systematic use of peer learning and policy advice instruments to support effective change and modernisation of the Palestinian public administration.
The meeting provided participants with a practical overview on how to plan, implement and manage public consultations and regulatory impact assessments. Each element was explained through a theoretical presentation and illustrated by real examples from MENA and OECD countries, which was followed by group work.
At the end of the workshop, there was a joint-session with the e-Government team to discuss the use of ICT tools to facilitate public consultation and the creation of One-Stop Shops.
The workshop was designed to be highly interactive and participants were encouraged to share their experiences as much as possible in order to maximise the effect.
