About

The Initiative on Governance and Investment for Development is a regional effort, initiated and led by countries in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). It promotes broad reforms to enhance the investment climate, modernise governance structures and operations, strengthen regional and international partnerships, and promote sustainable economic growth throughout the MENA region.

The Initiative will strengthen countries’ capacity to design and implement policy reforms. It will facilitate policy dialogue and sharing of experience on public governance and investment policies among policy makers from MENA countries and their OECD counterparts.

The Initiative consists of two pillars:

• MENA-OECD Governance Programme – aimed at modernising public governance structures and processes
• MENA-OECD Investment Programme – aimed at improving investment climate and policies
