Why does IFCRBP focus on the MENA Region?

The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region has remained the world’s least peaceful region according to the Global Peace Index since 2015, reflecting more than a decade of prolonged conflicts, political instability, and humanitarian crises. The region continues to experience some of the most complex and interconnected conflict dynamics globally, with countries such as Yemen, Syria, Iraq and Sudan consistently ranking among the least peaceful countries worldwide.

 

Conflicts in the MENA region have been a significant driver of global peace deterioration since 2008, demonstrating the urgent need for sustainable conflict prevention, inclusive dialogue, and locally led peacebuilding approaches.

 

Founded by a Middle Eastern female from the region, IFCRBP was established with a commitment to contribute to peace and stability within the MENA region. Coming from a region shaped by complex conflict dynamics, the founder brings a deep awareness of the realities, challenges, and peacebuilding needs of the region, combined with professional experience in conflict-affected environments.

Through engaging local communities, indigenous capabilities, and diverse stakeholders, IFCRBP seeks to develop practical, inclusive, and sustainable solutions that address the root causes of conflict and support long-term peace. While the MENA region represents IFCRBP’s primary geographical focus, the organisation’s mission extends to supporting conflict prevention and peacebuilding efforts in conflict-affected regions worldwide.
