Middle East & North Africa

Focus

Our network in the Middle East & North Africa has a strong focus on supporting a well-functioning, independent civil society sector that has the independence to develop and execute their own local level initiatives to promote active citizenship, good governance, transparency and the peaceful resolution of differences throughout the region. Our initiatives bring activists together to conduct organizational strengthening, to promote collective action and coalition-building, strengthen social cohesion, and to empower marginalized voices to have a say in the decisions that affect them the most.
