GNRC Arab States

The GNRC Arab States was founded after the GNRC First Forum held in Tokyo, 2000 as Middle East Region. Mr. Fadi Yarak of the René Moawad Foundation (Lebanon) was chosen as coordinator for the three countries (Lebanon, Jordan and Palestine). Since the GNRC Second Forum (Geneva 2004) the responsibility of the regional coordination has been carried out by Rev. Qais Sadiq, President of the Ecumenical Studies Center, Jordan, where the GNRC Regional Secretariat is placed with the Regional Coordinator Assistant office.
Today, the GNRC Arab States Region includes all the 23 Arab States members of the Arab League. Till date, actual activities cover effectively only seven countries; Jordan, Palestine, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, Egypt and Sudan, where the GNRC Youth Net exists with their own periodical meetings where they discuss their challenges and aspirations.
The first regional target is to introduce the GNRC in the Arab States at governmental, public and organizational levels.
