The Middle East Office of the Heinrich Böll Foundation supports and organizes activities and events such as workshops, conferences, awareness campaigns and exchange programs related to our main program areas Statehood and Participation, Power and Identity, War and Peace and Sustainable Development. Many activities are proposed to us by local and regional partner organizations, who will then receive funding and implement the activity or event under their own responsibility (Click here for a guide how to apply for funding from hbf ). Other activities are developed and implemented by our own staff, often in cooperation with local or international research institutions and civil society organizations. |
