ENCC Organizes its First Study Mission to Turkey
The ENCC had a study mission to Turkey in order to learn more about the initiatives and organizations working to advance competiveness and productivity in Turkey . In light of current efforts to enhance national competitiveness and streamline Egyptian regulation, the main objective the mission was to learn from the experience of the Republic of Turkey in government regulatory reform and promoting national competitiveness. The delegation met with counterparts from 11 different organizations (including the International Competitiveness Research Institute or URAK and the UNDP Turkey office). The success of the study mission has led the ENCC to consider a second mission to other successful countries in 2010, such as the Republic of Ireland .
The Egyptian delegation included representatives of the ENCC, the Egyptian Regulatory Reform and Development Activity (ERRADA) and USAID’s Technical Assistance for Policy Reform (TAPR II). Some of the key lessons learned are that Egypt needs to:
- Foster leadership capabilities at the regional and national levels
- Establish national cohesion between various actors and institutions to create a competitiveness mindset
- Focus on Regional development (UNDP Competitiveness Agenda for the GAP Region
