Political Framework

UfM’s  political dimension is structured around Ministerial and governmental representatives’ meetings, that define the priorities of UfM work through the adoption of common agendas in key strategic areas.

Through declarations adopted by consensus of the 42 UfM Ministers, the Ministerial Meetings address strategic priorities in the region (employment, women empowerment, water, urban development, etc…), and define the scope and objectives of a common Mediterranean agenda.
