The Arab Media Forum for Environment and Development (AMFED) is a non-profit Arab media organization advocating a culture of dialogue in the Arab world. AMFED’s signature approach is the media consultation methodology which brings together the media and various stakeholders through discussion and the exchange of ideas. The organization aims to engage the media in the Arab states as an active partner in development initiatives in the region, with a view to ensuring the sustainability of these initiatives. In addition, it encourages adopting an analytical role on sustainable and responsible development.
AMFED was established as a regional link for media NGOs and media experts focusing on environment and development in the region covering the twenty-two official Arab countries: Algeria, Bahrain, Comoros, Djibouti, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Mauritania, Morocco, Oman, Palestine, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Tunisia, UAE and Yemen. The organization has grown to include policy and decision-makers and other stakeholders focusing on development issues in the Arab world within the context of media. |
