A collective of passionate and seasoned professionals united by a commitment to addressing the evolving challenges of the Middle East. Rooted in deep connections with local communities, we empower local actors while fostering cross-border collaboration. Our "localized internationalism" model integrates grassroots, regional, and international dimensions, bridging local expertise, regional networks, and global partnerships. This allows us to deliver sensitive, impactful, and scalable development solutions tailored to the region’s complex and dynamic environment.

As a dynamic collaborative network, distinct from traditional NGOs or non-profit models, we unite regional experts, grassroots organizations, and international donors to address evolving challenges, conduct insightful research, and deliver sustainable, impactful solutions in fragile and conflict-affected areas. Rooted in shared values, we are dedicated to fostering trust, nurturing meaningful partnerships, and advancing sustainable development to improve the lives and resilience of communities across the MENA region.

Our Core Values & Principles

MENA Development Valley sees itself as part of a broader civic sector, which we aim to learn from, promote, and develop by our own goals.

Working with others is essential and goes far beyond seeking funds, projects, or consulting services. Who we work with and how we work with them are at the heart of our mission. It is through partnerships that MDV has improved, experimented, and grown. This policy builds on that experience and guides our decisions into the future. Our partnerships are guided by our core values: tenacity, rigor, candor, openness, honesty, adaptability, social justice, equality, human rights, community, and efficiency. Fairness is a fundamental principle, ensuring equitable treatment for MDV, clients, team members, and partners, as well as the communities we serve.

As a MENA-based network and social business enterprise, this commitment to fairness involves public accountability and recognizing the voices of taxpayers, aid beneficiaries, victims, refugees, and ordinary citizens who have a stake in how civic organizations function.

Work Approach

We do not deliver services, we deliver change, relations, stories and creativity.
