Middle East and North Africa
We are an open house for innovation and a global liberal think tank, dedicated to promoting the values and principles of freedom worldwide. Through our activities and publications, we empower individuals to exercise their right to political participation. Our offices in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) operate within the framework of freedom and human rights, adapting to each country’s unique context. Based in Amman, Jordan, FNF MENA drives three key programs that foster cross-country cooperation: MENA-NET, MENA-EU, and MENA-GEOPOL. We advise, inspire, and engage key stakeholders, developing and advocating solutions that strengthen individual freedom and responsibility.
