The MENA-OECD Ministerial Conference “Designing a Roadmap to Recovery in MENA” kicked off Thursday in a virtual format with the participation of Morocco.
The event, launched by OECD Secretary-General Angel Gurria and Italy’s FM Luigi Di Mario, focuses on strategies to ensure an inclusive and resilient post-COVID-19 recovery.
The conference gathers representatives from MENA and OECD governments, regional partners, international organizations, the private sector and civil society.
The participating ministers will be invited to adopt a Ministerial Declaration on Governance and Competitiveness, which will set guiding principles and mutual commitments for collaboration between MENA and OECD governments in the years to come.
The COVID-19 pandemic has been accompanied by an unparalleled socio-economic crisis, putting immense strain on people’s livelihoods and testing the resilience of the MENA region. However, the crisis is also an opportunity for the region to engage in a comprehensive reform agenda to address underlying structural issues to support an inclusive and sustainable recovery.
