Morocco has been working in close co-operation with the OECD for several years as part of the Good Governance for Development in Arab Countries Initiative. The aim of this Initiative is to modernise public governance in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) through a programme divided into seven key areas: integrity and prevention of corruption in the public sector; human resource management; e-government and administrative simplification; regulatory quality; relations between national, regional and local authorities; management of public finance; public service delivery and public-private partnerships.
This Joint Learning Study addresses integrity in public procurement, following the adoption of the new regulations on public procurement by the Moroccan government in May 2007.
Many MENA countries have been recently engaged in improving their public procurement systems, including by modernising their procurement policies and institutional frameworks, developing guidelines and building procurement professional capacity.
This report was published by the The MENA-OECD network.
Following the 2008 economic crisis it is increasingly important for governments across the globe to explore the most effective means of using limited resources to kick-start economic growth. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) have a distinct role to play in economic development as they provide a disproportionate share of gross and net new jobs.
This report explores the possibilities for supporting and encouraging SMEs in developing countries, with a specific focus on Egypt, through the public procurement market. The report presents the major challenges facing SMEs’ entry to this potentially lucrative market; and a series of examples and best practices is analysed to show how improving transparency might be used to tackle the identified difficulties.

» what constitutes a “good” value for the indicator

This report also presents, for the first time, spending on primary health care and specific diseases and looks closely at the relationship between spending and service coverage.
Successfully fighting corruption requires widespread public engagement and pressure. But effective engagement doesn’t just happen; it is a creative and constructive process that involves planning strategic activities to inspire people to confront corruption as a major social, economic and political offence and a violation of human rights.
