Mission

The african middle eastern leadership project's mission is to mobilize, empower, and unite young leaders and activists from the middle east and africa to build resilient, inclusive societies that are free from discrimination, persecution, and violent coercion, and to advocate supporting policies.

Programs

2 programs

Amel institute - trained hundreds of young civil society activists in sudan and across the middle east and africa through online training programs covering topics such as human rights, democratic development, peace & conflict, nonviolent movement-building, leveraging new media. Key lessons about these topics were also spread to thousands of sudanese through social media training sessions. Alumni from these and previous training programs were continually engaged through webinars, networking and awareness initiatives.

Expenses: $229K

Amel innovative initiatives - amel helps develop innovative initiatives for positive change in the mea region and in related communities in the u.s. We provide innovative change-makers and initiatives with guidance, mentoring, support and, in some cases fiscal sponsorship, so that they can develop their unique initiatives into successful actions. In 2024 amel primarily assisted independent activists and likeminded groups. Amel continued to serve as incubator for the inter jewish muslim alliance (ijma) although its activities were paused during 2024.
