In cooperation with in-country partners, IPD convenes forums that bring together diverse stakeholders, including senior government officials, opposition parties, members of Parliament, NGO's, labor, academics, business communities, and the media - often for the first time. These forums encourage discussion and analysis of all available economic policy options and help developing countries governments and their citizens explore policy alternatives in an open and inclusive manner.  |

| Ethiopia Country Dialogue 2004 |
| Event: Aug 28, 2004 - Aug 30, 2004 |
| Following its 2001 event, IPD held a public forum in August 2004. The IPD team met with Prime Minister Meles Zenawi and other senior policy makers, and convened a public dialogue attended by a diverse audience of some 400-500 civil society representatives and government officials. Private industry and government used the event to explore new avenues of cooperation, while IPD brought fresh perspectives to debates on privatization, property rights, and rural development policy. The Dialogue served to open lines of communication among the varied groups in attendance, and broadened the debate on the appropriate strategic role of the state; industrial policy; export promotion’s role in facilitating an efficient, competitive industrial sector; the role of the financial sector in aiding development; and agricultural price policy. |
