The West Asia-North Africa Institute is a not-for-profit policy think tank based in Amman, established by His Royal Highness, Prince El Hassan bin Talal. The Institute’s goal is to promote a transition to evidence-based policy and programming, with a particular focus on strengthening the role of civil society as a key player in regional development. To achieve this goal, the Institute works to empower key stakeholders with knowledge, tools and evidence in three areas: social justice, green economy and human security. It does this by undertaking progressive, interdisciplinary research; convening a multi-stakeholder dialogue platform made up of key change makers; supporting stakeholders through a regional knowledge network and communities of practice; and by building the capacity of stakeholders to transform knowledge into policy and programs.
