Lebanese Minister of Finance Rayya Hassan and ESCWA Executive Secretary Bader AlDafa will open a regional workshop on “Public Finance Reform: A Roadmap for Modernization and Good Governance.” The workshop, co-organized by ESCWA and the Basil Fuleihan Institute (IOF), is scheduled to open at 15:00 on Monday 31 May 2010 at the Institute's premises in Beirut. The opening will witness the launch of a reference guide on ‘Best Practices in Public Finance Management’. The guide was prepared and published by ESCWA and IOF. It spells out modern international trends and best practices in public finance management (PFM) reform that are adopted by most developed countries and that are reaching developing countries. The guide presents the standards that help public administrations and institutions develop and meet international trends, by calling for a change in mentalities and attitudes towards government restructuring and re-examining the government's role to focus on efficiency for increased productivity, lower production costs, and better service to the economy and citizens. The opening session will be attended by Lebanese experts and practitioners and representatives of international and Civil Society organizations involved in Public Finance reform in Lebanon and the region. The workshop, which will conclude on 2 June, aims to give participants indispensable instructions on using the guide, and to provide them with a detailed overview of processes and standards used in planning and implementing PFM reforms. Organizers seek to set up a forum for sharing experiences and expertise among Western Asia countries in different aspects of PFM reforms. . The UN Information Service kindly requests news media to give this meeting the highlight it deserves and to cover the workshop's opening at 15:00 on Monday, 31 May 2010, at the Basil Fuleihan Institute (Corniche el Nahr).
