More about MEF:
The Maghreb Economic Forum (MEF), is a Think-and-Do Tank, founded in 2011 on the premise of supporting
further Maghreb integration and unlocking economic and social growth. With a population of 90 million the five
founding members, Algeria, Libya, Mauritania, Morocco and Tunisia can create a solid social and economic space
to thrive in an era of globalization and digitalization. Kamel Lazaar, founder and president of MEF stresses that:

stronger and more united Maghreb will help address common challenges, such as the need to create jobs,
instability in parts of the region, energy security and education reforms.”
