Announcements

It is with great sadness that the MENAR Board of Directors announces that, following the completion of the 2020-2021 fellowship year, MENAR will be winding down operations. This is not a decision we have taken lightly, but rather one that has come after many months of deliberation.

We remain incredibly proud of the achievements of our fellows and partner organizations over the past 10 years. Our 32 current and former fellows have made valuable contributions to 14 host organizations in 7 countries across the MENA region, and since their fellowships have gone on to pursue meaningful careers in refugee services, economic development, academic research, and beyond. We are excited to see how they will continue to grow and make positive contributions to the world in the years to come, and hope that in some small way, their MENAR fellowship experience will have helped to get them where they are.
