The Initiative’s Steering Group assembles the Arab Chairs and OECD Co-chairs of the Regional Working Groups as well as members of the Joint OECD/UNDP Executive Secretariat and of other collaborating organizations, such as the World Bank and the European Commission. Its role is to continually review the progress achieved in implementing the objectives of the Initiative. The Steering Group supervises the Regional Working Groups’ contributions to ensure a coordinated approach and methodology as well as a whole-of-government perspective.
The Steering Group Chairs and Co-chairs supervise the work of the GfD Initiative’s Regional Working Groups and coordinate their activities with those of the Investment pillar, including their Chairs' participation in the High Level Steering Group meetings of the Investment for Development Programme. In close cooperation with the Joint Executive Secretariat, they promote the Initiative at national, regional and international meetings and conferences and vis-à-vis potential donors and financial institutions.
The Steering Group meets twice a year, in addition to the annual GfD Conferences. These GfD Conferences also assemble the National Co-ordinators of the Participating Arab Countries as well as a wider circle of representatives from Arab and OECD countries. They will contribute to promoting dialogue with representatives of the international community, civil society and the business sector in order to mobilise broad support for the Initiative.
