WANA Institute Operational Strategy 2015 - 2020

The WANA Forum was established in 2009 as a thematic dialogue platform, designed to strengthen regional dialogue and development cooperation. In 2014, the initiative was re-launched by His Royal Highness, Prince El Hassan bin Talal, as the WANA Institute ̶ a not-for-profit policy think tank based in Amman, Jordan. The Institute’s goal is to promote a transition to evidence-based policy and programming, with a particular focus on strengthening the role of civil society as a key player in regional development. Critically, the capacity to produce and utilise such evidence must be developed in the region and by regional stakeholders to inspire trust, ensure pragmatism and guarantee sustainability.
