MENA Centre for Investment

For the countries of the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), private investment, both domestic and foreign, is needed to provide new engines of growth and dynamism. The biggest challenge for MENA countries lies in strengthening the process of change, maintaining, supporting and tracking the progress of policy implementation as well as providing capacity-building assistance. The MENA Centre for Investment in Manama was launched in 2006 to offer a forum for resultsoriented policy dialogue among MENA and OECD practitioners. This innovative partnership will serve to share know-how on best practices and lessons learned in implementing investment reforms.
