Our Liberal Agenda in the Region: Networking of Arab Liberal Parties, Promoting Human Rights and Advocating Economic Freedom The Foundation started operating in the Middle East and North Africa in the early sixties of the last century. The Foundation’s first program outside Germany was established in Tunisia in 1962 and aimed at the training of journalists. Today, the Foundation has offices in Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Egypt, Jerusalem (for Israel and Palestine), Jordan and Turkey. The regional office in Cairo was established in 1997 and is in charge for the administrative and programmatic coordination of the various activities in the region.
Promoting the freedom of the individual through civic education is at the heart of many projects also in this part of the world. Due to the diversity of political, social and economic conditions, the national programs vary from one country to another. However, in all cases our educative programs aspire to promote core liberal principles such as democracy, human rights or the market economy.
We partner with leadership personnel from governments, liberal political parties, members of civil society, journalists and business leaders. The foundation is particularly fond of her various educative programs for the young people in the various countries of the region. The regional programs of the Foundation are coordinated at the regional office in Cairo. Focal points of these cross-border projects are:
The networking of liberal political parties in the Arab world
The promotion of Human Rights
Advocacy for Economic Freedom as a successful development strategy to eradicate poverty.
Where ever this is fitting, the regional programs correspond with educative programs on the country level.
