Middle East & North Africa

The Center for International Private Enterprise's strategy for the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) is driven by the imperative that democracies must deliver for all of their citizens. In the context of current political transitions, the need to deliver jobs and prosperity as broadly-based and fairly as possible has never been greater, and success will depend on establishing vibrant market economies that are governed by functioning democratic institutions. CIPE’s programs in the MENA region are well-positioned to build upon new political opportunities and dynamism by supporting efforts that expand political and economic opportunity and empower stakeholders, particularly women and youth, to press for democratic and market-oriented reform.
