On 30 November and 01 December, a Transparency International (TI) delegation attended the Forum for the Future conference at the Dead Sea in Jordan. The conference brought together foreign ministers from the Group of Eight (G8) nations and from the Broader Middle East and North Africa region.

Transparency International’s delegation included representatives from TI Algeria, TI Jordan, TI Lebanon, TI Morocco, TI Palestine and staff from the TI secretariat in Berlin. The delegation presented an Action Plan at the meeting, which focused on three points for action for government. First, to establish a monitoring mechanism for the United Nations Convention against Corruption implementation; second, to strengthen anti-money laundering legislation and procedures; and third, to introduce whistleblower protection measures.

Broad support for the Action Plan was demonstrated by the Chairman's summary at the close of the meeting, which backed the recommendations. For more information on the meeting, please contact David Koschel at: dkoschel@transparency.org.
