The meeting attracted 100 experts from various sectors of Tunisian society, who filled out the survey questionnaire and deliberated on Tunisia’s progress in political, institutional and economic governance. According to Dr. Soukeina Bouraoui, Executive Director, Centre for Arab Women Training and Research (CAWTAR) and ECA’s collaborating partner in Tunisia, “..discussions also focused on the future challenges for continued progress in democratic governance.” The analysis of participants’ responses to the survey questions is ongoing. AGR is published biannually in response to a growing and powerful consensus emerging around the world, and among African leaders, that good governance is a prerequisite for the realization of development challenges and the achievement of the MDGs.
