Description
While Middle East and North Africa (MENA) countries have largely adopted anti-corruption and integrity strategies and introduced more robust regulatory frameworks in this field, effective implementation on the ground remains a persistent challenge.
This side event will bring together practitioners from across the MENA region who work in integrity and related fields to examine the factors that hinder the implementation of these strategies and regulations and identify areas requiring particular attention to ensure that anti-corruption and integrity measures are fully translated into practice. These may include the development of stronger monitoring and evaluation frameworks, broader whole-of-government and whole-of-society engagement, engaging local governments in planning and implementation, and more robust data to inform decision-making.
