SESRIC, the International Forum on TOSSD (IFT) Secretariat, and the Islamic Development Bank will jointly organize a webinar focusing on the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region on 10 September 2024.

The Webinar will be attended by the officials from the Ministries of Planning and Finance as well as line ministries in charge of managing external support from traditional or south-south providers and multilateral institutions, National Statistical Offices (NSOs) and multilateral organizations of the OIC countries from the MENA region.

Including introductory presentations and experience-sharing sessions, the Webinar will:
