In the framework of the South Programme IV, the Venice Commission is organising the 11th UniDem Med Regional Seminar entitled "Towards a user-oriented administration" in co-operation with the Ministry of the Economy, Finances and Public Administration Reform of the Kingdom of Morocco. This seminar will take place as a videoconference from 13 to 15 October 2020.

It will bring together around 60 senior international experts and public officials from seven Southern Mediterranean beneficiaries (Algeria, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Palestine* and Tunisia) with the aim to exchange best practices on modern user-centered public administration based on rule of law and democracy principles. Participants will discuss among others: access to public information and transparency, data protection, quality management, e-government initiatives and civil service ethics. The working languages of this seminar will be English and French.

The main objective of the UniDem Med Campus (University for Democracy) is to contribute through peer-to-peer exchanges to the modernisation of the administration in the Southern Mediterranean by enforcing law and consolidating institutions. The project aims to strengthen the legal capacities of senior civil servants in areas related to good governance, rule of law and human rights, as well as to strengthen the links between the public administrations from the region.
