Despite economic conditions improving in the region, economic growth remains fragile amid a rapidly increasing young population and gaps in accountable governance structures. Hence, there is a need for enhanced stronger public financial management, job creation and better investment climate. Ongoing reforms aim at mobilising domestic resources and private capital, enhance governance, and ensure safe and regular labour migration. Switzerland supports these efforts by fostering transparent institutions and inclusive, climate-smart economies.
