| Summary: | Recognizing the importance of policy
debate and knowledge sharing in the field of development,
the Arab Fund for Economic and Social Development and the
World Bank (Middle East and North Africa Region) agreed in
March 2010 to hold joint high-level development seminars
around issues pertaining to the Arab World. These were to be
known as the Arab Development Symposia (ADS) and will be
held on a regular basis, every 18 months or so, at the Arab
Fund premises in Kuwait. The goal was to provide an
opportunity for policymakers, practitioners and academicians
to share ideas and experiences on topics which are high on
the Arab development agenda. As such, the ADS series
complement other fora for research and knowledge sharing and
dissemination such as the Economic Research Forum (ERF) and
the Research Initiative for Arab Development (RIAD). |
