High-level webinar: Ensuring the Resilience and Continuity of Critical Infrastructures and Services: Learning from the COVID-19 crisis

Virtual Meeting of the MENA-SBO Network

Young people’s trust in government has halted in the MENA region: only 32% of young people expressed trust in their national government across 12 countries in 2018. In the face of socio-economic challenges, administrative corruption and inadequate public services, youth-led protests spread in numerous countries across the MENA region in 2019. 

The Covid-19 crisis has massive impact on all countries in areas such as public health, employment, economic growth and social protection. The crisis requires urgent actions by governments, and it can sometimes be difficult to balance timely interventions carefully with accountability, transparency and integrity.

The MENA-OECD Working Group on Regulatory Reform and the Rule of Law (WG IV) is organising its annual meeting on the “Impact of Covid-19 on the Rule of Law: Rule-making and Access to Justice in times of crisis” on 22 June 2020 at 11:00-13:00h via Zoom. This meeting is jointly organised with the MENA-OECD Governance Programme - Centre – Caserta - Italy

The world is tackling the COVID-19 global health emergency and its economic and social impact that disrupted nearly all aspects of life in an unprecedented manner for everyone in society. However, the current crisis as well as the measures implemented by governments affect different groups in society in distinct ways. For young people, and especially vulnerable youth, the COVID-19 crisis poses considerable risks in the field of education and employment, mental health and disposable income, and others. The recovery measures will also have long-term economic, social and environmental consequences that young people and future generations will have to live with.
