MBI Al Jaber Foundation Sponsors 779th Wilton Park Conference
In March 2005, the MBI Al Jaber Foundation sponsored a conference at Wilton Park, on building participatory governance and representative institutions in the broader Middle East and North Africa.
The conference addressed such questions as:
• What are the options for promoting participatory governance in the Middle East? • How can transparency and accountability be best protected? • What constitutional reform is necessary? • How can legislatures be strengthened? • To what extent have political parties developed? • What should be the role of business? • What measures are needed to ensure the inclusion of minorities? • How will US policy to promote reform develop under the next administration?
