The document is the detailed agenda of the MENA meeting. The MENA region is experiencing a period of unprecedented political and social change. Women have played a key role in the recent social movements, at the core of which have been calls for an end to rampant corruption, increased transparency and stakeholder consultations, and a policy environment more conducive to economic growth and employment. Over the last decades, many MENA governments have initiated a series of reforms in support of a stronger private sector and an improved status for women in the economic, political and social spheres. The current context represents an opportunity for emerging policy leaders to reinforce existing private sector development efforts and to give new economic actors—including women and youth—a voice in shaping public policies. There is, however, a risk that new policy leaders may call into question past efforts towards economic liberalisation and women's rights.
