The Regional Forum on Reinventing Government in the Region of Arab States is organized by the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs and the UNDP Programme of Governance in the Arab Region (POGAR), in partnership with the Dubai School of Government in the UAE.
The forum, one of several regional events worldwide, is an integral part of the preparatory activities for the 6th Global Forum on Reinventing Government, to be held in Seoul, Republic of South Korea from 24-27 May 2005. The themes of this forum contribute to the main theme of the 6th Global Forum, which is: Toward Participatory and Transparent Governance.
Objectives
The objective of the forum is to assist governments in achieving their goal for increasing integrity, transparency and accountability in public agencies. The forum also aims at building the capacity of government institutions and the civil society to work together towards instituting a culture of integrity in the delivery of public services. This will be achieved by sharing the experience of participating Arab countries in instilling and practicing the principles of integrity, transparency and accountability in public institutions, as well as leading discussions on good practices and approaches that further the agenda of those countries for improving the quality and delivery of public services to the satisfaction of investors and the public at large.
Purpose
The forum will provide an opportunity for participating countries to share their experience and examine the factors that lead to the success and/or impediment to their initiatives. It will provide a venue to discuss feasible recommendations, as well as build a network amongst the countries for continued learning and joint development of best practices.
In addition to national consultants who prepared country-specific case studies for this event, international experts from the Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), the World Bank and the TIRI Organization (UK) will share their experiences with the participants. The conclusions and recommendations of this forum will be presented at the 6th Global Forum on Reinventing Government next May.
Dates and Venue
The Forum will be held at the Novotel Hotel in the World Trade Center, Dubai, from 21-23 March 2005
