Algiers (IINA) – An international conference on institutional follow-up mechanisms of social equity and the development of more effective public policies for the promotion of equity opened here Monday.

A panel of partners as well as national and international experts are participating in the two-day conference, organized jointly by the National Economic and Social Council (CNES) and the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF). The participants will address issues relating to social equity through exchange of experiences in some countries.

The conference is expected to urge decision makers to institutionalize national mechanisms for analysis and equity measures, which will assist them in the development of public policies in favor of vulnerable children and youths, according to organizers.

It will also be an opportunity for the Middle Eastern and North African countries, as well as the other participating nations to share and get acquainted with the different national, integrated patterns and mechanisms, aimed at achieving equity.

According to CNES, Algeria will benefit from the outcome of the conference to further boost its inclusive and equitable social development, launched since the declaration of independence in 1962, through scaling up of investment in human and material resources.
