| The World Bank Group, with technical and financial support from the city of Marseilles, has opened a technical office, the MENA Knowledge Networks Agency (KNA), in Marseilles, France. The objective of the KNA is to build capacity for knowledge sharing and learning in the MENA region. The KNA’s proximity to the region enables it to work with regional institutions to identify the demand for knowledge in key areas and to organize learning activities in response. These MENA institutions (centers of excellence, training centers, thematic networks, and communities of practice) at the national, subregional, and regional levels are playing a lead role as knowledge connectors and providers.
