Strengthening Economic Advocacy throughout the MENA Region

 

MEPI seeks proposals that advocate for legal and regulatory reforms that support: 1)Increased, expedited, more efficient, and more transparent business registration processes; 2)Improved bankruptcy and insolvency laws;and 3)More open government policies and procedures that promote greater transparency and economic growth. MEPI requests applications that will enhance the role private and non-governmental sectors play in influencing policy decisions and ensuring that laws, policies, regulations, and practices are transparent and responsive to the needs of business and labor. The approach and style of this advocacy can be adapted to the local environment but should include efforts to change specific local and national policies, processes, or structures to enhance or create economic opportunities and broad-based economic growth benefiting all citizens. More detailed opportunity description can be found with the full announcement.
