Background and objectives: In the past decade, MENA governments
identified the fight against corruption as an overarching objective
of their public administration reform programs. Governments defined
national anti-corruption strategies and policies and created
anti-corruption agencies and committees. In order to effectively
implement national anti-corruption strategies, growing emphasis was
put on involving governmental and non-governmental stakeholders in
the policy making process. The Eleventh Annual Conference on Arab
Management: The National Anti-Corruption Strategy will build on the
experiences of participating countries in the design and
implementation of anti-corruption strategies and policies. In
particular, the Conference will provide an in-depth regional policy
dialogue amongst participants on:
1. Sharing experiences and good practices of participating
countries in designing, implementing and coordinating
anti-corruption and integrity policies;
2. Identifying building blocks and success factors of an
effective national integrity framework; 3. Discussing how the
instruments and indicators of selected international organisations
and non-governmental organisations can
help governments to implement anti-corruption policies.
