African Conference on Measuring Well-Being and Fostering the Progress of Societies
19-21 April 2012
Rabat, Morocco
In preparation of the 4th OECD World Forum, to be held in New Delhi, India on 16-19 October 2012, a series of regional conferences are being organised with the aim to identify concrete deliverables and initiatives that each region could contribute to the agenda of measuring well-being and progress.
The African Conference which will take place on the 19-21 April 2012 is jointly organised by the OECD Development Centre and the Moroccan High Planning Commission (HCP) in collaboration with the OECD, the African Development Bank (AfDB) and the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (ECA).
The Conference will gather around 250 regional policy makers, statisticians, academics, and other stakeholders with a specific interest in the field.
The purpose of the Conference will be to deepen on-going reflection on how to measure well-being and the progress of societies, enhance the relevance of measures and analysis for addressing key policy issues, and lead to concrete outputs, such as establishing frameworks for future work. It will be the primary mechanism for shaping the African contribution to the 4th OECD World Forum through open and frank exchanges of view, sharing of experiences, deepening of knowledge and understanding, and regional agenda setting.
