ESCWA is organizing a national workshop for Tunisia as part of the activities of the Development Account Project “Towards the Arab Horizon 2030: Enhancing Integrated National Development Planning in the Arab Region”.
A vital part of the national workshop is to consolidate information on the structure and institutional set-up of the planning process, as well as the challenges and gaps across the different stages of planning for increasing the effective implementation of the national development plan. A second objective is to build the capacity of stakeholders on key substantive topics, including regulatory reforms and budgeting.
This workshop is geared towards building the capacity, engaging and familiarizing Tunisian stakeholders from Ministries of Planning, Ministries of Economy, Industry, Trade, Education and Health, Housing, and all Ministries directly or indirectly engaged in the process of development planning on different techniques and methodologies that promote integrated planning in the country. Other relevant stakeholders include Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) and the private sector, to the extent of their involvement in the national development planning process.
