Wilton Park Conference

779th Wilton Park Conference: 7th - 9th March 2005

In March 2005, the MBI Al Jaber Foundation sponsored a conference at Wilton Park, England on building participatory governance and representative institutions in the broader Middle East and North Africa.

The conference addressed such questions as:

  • What are the options for promoting participatory governance in the Middle East?
  • How can transparency and accountability be best protected?  
  • What constitutional reform is necessary? 
  • How can legislatures be strengthened? 
  • To what extent have political parties developed? 
  • What should be the role of business? 
  • What measures are needed to ensure the inclusion of minorities?  
  • How will US policy to promote reform develop under the next administration?

The final report of the conference can be downloaded (pdf) from the Wilton Park website.

MBI Al Jaber Foundation

The MBI Al Jaber Foundation was born from Mohamed Bin Issa Al Jaber's desire to promote better understanding between the peoples of the Middle East and the wider world.

We believe that better understanding will be achieved through education and an awareness of and respect for each others’ cultures.
