About Us

MENA Centre
for Investment

For the countries of the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), private investment, both domestic and foreign, is needed to provide new engines of growth and dynamism. The biggest challenge for MENA countries lies in strengthening the process of change, maintaining, supporting and tracking the progress of policy implementation as well as providing capacity-building assistance.

The MENA Centre for Investment in Manama was launched in 2006 to offer a forum for resultsoriented policy dialogue among MENA and OECD practitioners. This innovative partnership will serve to share know-how on best practices and lessons learned in implementing investment reforms. The purpose and organisational structure of the centre is governed by Articles of Association of the NGO established under Bahraini law.

The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) is an international organization composed of 30 member countries brought together by a commitment to democratic government and market economies. The Organisation provides a forum where governments can compare policy experiences, seek answers to common problems, identify good practice and co-ordinate domestic and international policies. For more than 40 years, the OECD has been one of the world's largest and most reliable sources of comparable statistics, and economic and social data. The OECD member countries have active relationships with 70 other economies, non-government organizations (NGOs) and civil society. The current Secretary General of the OECD is Angel Gurría.
