Moatez is currently leading the World Bank’s open government project portfolio in Tunisia. This involves delivering a technical assistance package to the Tunisian government in three key areas: institutionalizing open data and data governance policies in the public sector, operationalizing access to information reforms, and fostering youth participation in public decision making.
A trained governance specialist, he more recently contributed to the design and implementation of Tunisia’s first high performance Delivery Unit, a project aiming to accelerate and optimize implementation of the government’s high priority areas including a strengthened COVID-19 response and vigorous economic recovery plan to counteract the country’s economic slow down.
Prior to his assignment with the World Bank, Moatez is able to draw upon several years of professional experience in the development and humanitarian sector, including with the United Nations and private development companies. His background also includes developing technical proposals for large-scale EU and World Bank funded projects in the sectors of decentralization and public financial management.
Moatez holds an MPA in Public Administration and Management from University College London (UCL) and a Master’s in Public Policy and Philosophy from the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE).
