Dear MENA 2010 Conference Participants,
The Rule of Law is the foundation for communities of opportunity and equity. It gives traction to efforts to address society’s gravest ills, including violence, poverty, corruption, sickness, and ignorance.
The World Justice Project’s mission is based on the belief that the Rule of Law is best strengthened by multidisciplinary, collaborative efforts. Our Regional Mainstreaming Meetings actualize this belief by bringing together diverse groups of stakeholders and fostering collective action. At our first Middle East and North Africa Regional Mainstreaming Meeting, we look forward to building a network of Rule of Law stakeholders in the MENA region and developing new, cross-disciplinary initiatives to strengthen the Rule of Law.
