The Middle East and North Africa Hub

As part of the Innovation for Change (I4C) global network, the Middle East and North Africa Hub was established in 2017 to be a network of people and organizations who connect, collaborate, interchange ideas, innovations, and resources, and learn together. With vast country coverage throughout the region, The MENA Hub plays a critical role in joining efforts with network members to open the Civic Space and overcome restrictions to civil rights of assembly, association, and speech in the MENA region, through Advocacy, Digital security awareness, resourcing, and knowledge management.

Our Goals

  • To strengthen civil society policy advocacy capacity in leading policy advocacy efforts and for an improved civil society enabling environment in the MENA region.
  • Support activists, CSOs, and journalists and increase their capacity through the launch and curation of thematic Communities of Practice.
  • Develop a strengthened and collaborative community of CSOs with increased capacities in financial sustainability and monitoring good governance in the MENA region.
