CHAIR/PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

We are pleased to present our annual report for 2019. Its theme — Building Brighter Futures — captures the power of education and training to enable people to shape their futures and fulfill their dreams.

At a time when the outlook for the Middle East and North Africa is clouded by uncertainty, conflict, economic crisis, and now a global pandemic, it is doubly important to be reminded of the transformative impact of our programs on the lives of a generation that is coming of age, some of whom you will meet in this report.

We are grateful for the generous support of our donors and program sponsors who make our work possible. These partnerships enabled us to offer our core services and mount more than 100 programs that improved English language proficiencies, built workforce skills, and expanded access to opportunities for educational and cultural exchange. We are especially proud of our work with 16,000 young men and women, many of them disadvantaged and underserved, to empower them with the skills and knowhow to build a brighter future for themselves and their communities.

As we prepare to mark AMIDEAST’s 70th anniversary in 2021, we remain committed to creating hope, opportunity, and understanding — three essential building blocks of a brighter future. Over the years, we have been buoyed by the positive difference our work has helped make in so many lives. On behalf of the board and staff of AMIDEAST, we thank you for your support and look forward to continuing our work together.

Sincerely,

Dr. Mary W. Gray Chair, Board of Directors

BUILDING BRIGHTER FUTURES ONE SIZE DOES NOT FIT ALL. The individuals we serve have diverse needs and goals. The challenges they face are numerous and varied. By offering a broad range of programs and services, our offices provide many pathways for those seeking the education and training that will help them lay the foundations for a brighter future.

2019 PROGRAMS/SERVICES

For some individuals, a single language course or workshop makes a difference in their life trajectories.

But for thousands of deserving youth across the region, AMIDEAST’s progressive series of programs provides a LADDER OF OPPORTUNITIES that enables them to build the English language proficiency and other foundational skills that unlock further opportunities for high school exchange, higher education, and new career paths.

IN 2019 Critically important for youth seeking guidance along the way, our teachers and other staff become trusted mentors to many of the students, graduates, and young professionals who come to AMIDEAST each year. This type of personalized support is key not only during training programs, but also through the alumni activities that we manage.

By “paying it forward” to other youth, moreover, participants in AMIDEAST programs discover that they can become mentors themselves. These many pathways enable us to create the OPPORTUNITY, HOPE, AND UNDERSTANDING that help lead to brighter futures for the peoples and communities we serve.

BUILDING BRIGHTER FUTURES

√

Nour Alshaer’s seven-year journey with AMIDEAST demonstrates the transformative effect of the ladder of opportunities that AMIDEAST offers. The young woman from Gaza has participated in three highly competitive U.S. Department of State-funded programs and the Hope Fund, each one bringing her closer to realizing her medical school dreams. Nour came to AMIDEAST as a ninth grader, with a passion for learning English. The English Access Microscholarship (Access) Program was a perfect starting point and helped her later qualify for the KennedyLugar Youth Exchange and Study (YES) program. As a rising high school senior, Nour again turned to AMIDEAST, seeking help with the complex process of U.S. university admissions and scholarship applications.

With the support of the Abraham Lincoln Incentive Grants program and the Hope Fund, Nour is now a pre-med student at Washington and Lee University, majoring in neuroscience with a minor in poverty studies, and building a brighter future for herself and the Palestinian people.

“ Without AMIDEAST, I would not have been able to come to the United States, study the major that I want, and achieve my full potential.”

SKILLS FOR THE FUTURE ENGLISH LANGUAGE AMIDEAST continued to be a regional leader in English language training, working with 52,300 individuals as they progressed toward their goal of becoming proficient, confident communicators in English. In addition to courses offered to the public and training tailored to meet the needs of companies and organizations in diverse economic sectors, AMIDEAST offices implemented highimpact programs targeting underserved youth regionwide, enabling them to increase their proficiency in a language linked to educational and job opportunities.

Developing Foundational Skills Through the U.S. Department of State-funded English Access Microscholarship (Access) Program, AMIDEAST offices in Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Tunisia, and the West Bank and Gaza worked with more than 6,730 teenage boys and girls from economically disadvantaged communities. In addition, similarly modelled U.S. Embassy-funded programs benefited youth in the UAE’s northernmost village in Ras Al Khaimah and Cairo’s Garbage City neighborhood. Such Access-inspired programs also reached youth living in particularly challenging circumstances, such as IDPs in Mosul, Iraq, Syrian refugees and members of the surrounding community in Irbid, Jordan, and young people living amid conflict in Aden, Yemen.

Improving English Language Teaching No less important was our ongoing effort to expand training opportunities for the region’s English language teachers with the overarching goal of improving the teaching of this critical language. In Morocco, our Professional Certificate in English Language Teaching (PCELT) program formed the core of a national initiative, funded by the U.S. Embassy and supported by Morocco’s Ministry of Education, to improve English language teaching in the country’s schools. Moreover, we were pleased that donor support enabled us to offer PCELT training in partnership with SIT Graduate Institute/World Learning to 116 teachers in Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, and the West Bank and Gaza, bringing to 856 the number of teachers in 11 countries who had earned PCELT certification by year’s end.

AMIDEAST 2019 ANNUAL REPORT

MANAR ALI AL-MUMIN — KUWAIT, PROFESSIONAL CERTIFICATE IN ENGLISH LANGUAGE TEACHING

Manar Ali Al-Mumin was excited to be able to take AMIDEAST’s PCELT course, thanks to a multi-year partnership with Kuwait’s Ministry of Education that aims to introduce English language teachers to a learnercentered approach to benefit students for years to come. As one of 36 English language teachers selected for the program sponsored by the U.S. Embassy, the senior teacher in a Kuwait government school looked forward to the opportunity to refresh her skills and update her knowledge of effective teaching practices. By the end, she felt more capable and assured of her ability to adopt new techniques and empowered to change her approach to training her staff and energize them to develop professionally.

Most important were the changes Manar saw in her own classroom, as her students became more confident in their English skills and able to communicate naturally.

“ The PCELT program was amazing! It refined the skills I already had [and] gave me confidence that, yes, I can still do this and be even better.”

WORKFORCE SKILLS AMIDEAST conducted training targeting a regional workforce seeking to acquire skills that improve success in today’s challenging economic environment. Nearly 4,700 men and women benefited from courses, workshops, and seminars in areas such as global communications, technology usage, interpersonal skills, entrepreneurship, and performance-based management practices. Our offices tailored training to meet the specific needs of public and private organizations in diverse economic sectors. With donor support, we also advanced the employability prospects and entrepreneurship potential of young men and women through special programs.

Employability With funding from the Al Khatib Foundation, Asfari Foundation, Boeing Company, Citi Foundation, International Labour Organization, OCP Foundation, Phosboucraa Foundation, and U.S. Department of State, AMIDEAST's Skills for Success® and other skills training programs enhanced the employability of 4,100 individuals in Bahrain, Egypt, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and the West Bank.

Pay-It-Forward components of many of these programs expanded and deepened their impact as core participants themselves led workshops sharing what they had learned with an additional 10,000 youths.

Training rounds in 2019 continued to demonstrate the efficacy of the Skills for Success approach and curriculum, which AMIDEAST developed to address the region’s high youth unemployment rates.

Entrepreneurship The AMIDEAST Entrepreneur Institute in Beirut advanced entrepreneurship in Lebanon through training supplemented by mentoring, individual support, and management consultancy and legal services. In addition, Lebanese, Palestinian, and Syrian youth who want to launch a business as a path to a brighter future were able to choose an entrepreneurship track in the Skills for Success programs offered by our Lebanon office. In other bright spots, AMIDEAST-managed, OCP-funded learning centers offered support for aspiring business owners in Morocco; and, in Egypt, a second round of the two-year Youth Entrepreneurship Program was launched as part of the Citi Foundation-funded Skills for Success: Employability and Entrepreneurship program.

BUILDING BRIGHTER FUTURES

RAWAD & NOUR MALAEB — LEBANON, SKILLS FOR SUCCESS®

Brother and sister Rawad and Nour Malaeb believe that a bright future for Lebanon, a country that imports most of its food, depends on sustainable agriculture. They want to help build that future by starting a land reclamation and management business that will add to the acreage cultivated according to organic agricultural practices. They had identified sources of land — individuals too busy to cultivate their own land and Lebanese in diaspora who had abandoned their land — and were acquiring the skills they would need to complement Rawad’s background in mechanical engineering and Nour’s in food inspection.

Realizing that training in entrepreneurship was indispensable, they applied for AMIDEAST’s new Skills for Success®: Employability and Entrepreneurship program, offered in partnership with Citi Foundation. The training, guidance, and coaching they received enabled them to start their own business, Rizka:

“ Skills for Success was amazing. It gave us the opportunity to move forward in our lives, start our business, and believe that we are capable of achieving more.”

DEVELOPING GLOBAL CITIZEN PROGRAMS FOR MENA STUDENTS & PROFESSIONALS AMIDEAST's support for exchange and scholarship programs gave 2,300 students and young professionals from across the MENA region the transformative experience of living and studying in the United States and elsewhere through high school exchange, undergraduate and graduate study, and professional development.

High School Exchange

Graduate Studies

AMIDEAST’s work through the U.S. Department of State-funded Kennedy-Lugar Youth Exchange and Study (YES) program enabled 219 high school students from Bahrain, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Saudi Arabia, Tunisia, and the West Bank and Gaza to have the life-changing experience of spending the 2019–2020 academic year in the United States, living with a host family and experiencing life in an American community.

Continuing our nearly four-decade partnership with the U.S. Department of State’s Fulbright Foreign Student Program, AMIDEAST administered grants for 300 master’s, doctoral, and research grantees from Algeria, Bahrain, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Tunisia, the UAE, and the West Bank and Gaza. In addition, we helped place 202 Fulbright program nominees in study programs for the 2019–2020 academic year.

Undergraduate Studies

Professional Development

Our commitment to expanding opportunity for the region’s youth meant that 285 academically outstanding young men and women were able to pursue their undergraduate studies in the United States or at U.S.-accredited institutions in the region and elsewhere. Of special note were 140 deserving scholars in AMIDEAST’s flagship programs, the Hope Fund and Diana Kamal Scholarship Search Fund, which together since 2000 have expanded access to higher education for more than 270 youths.

AMIDEAST was proud to launch new initiatives on behalf of the U.S. Department of State’s Fulbright program, involving partnerships with U.S. universities to provide professional development for 51 junior faculty from universities in Egypt, Iraq, and Lebanon.

AMIDEAST’s support for the J-1 Visa Program and for other U.S. Department of State initiatives including the Teachers of Critical Languages and Professional Fellowship Programs, advanced the goals of other young professionals from the region.

EDUCATION ABROAD IN THE ARAB WORLD In 2019, AMIDEAST Education Abroad Programs deepened the understanding of the Middle East and North Africa region of 450 American students and educators through college-accredited programs as well as customized programs for high school and college students from 61 institutions.

Nearly 100 college students earned credit for coursework in Modern Standard and colloquial Arabic as well as area studies through summer, semester, or academic-year study options offered in Jordan, Morocco, and Tunisia.

By incorporating features such as community-based learning, homestays, lectures, language partners, cross-cultural discussions, cultural excursions, and visits

to community organizations, participants expanded their understanding of the region and fostered newfound connections with its people.

A robust offering of programs customized and implemented by AMIDEAST in Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, and Tunisia enabled an additional 350 high school and college students and faculty from 14 U.S. institutions to realize goals as varied as intensive language study and the exploration of special topics, including literature, engineering leadership, community service, and the Middle East dimension of peace and conflict resolution. Participants included 56 high school students in the U.S. Department of State-funded National Security Language Initiative for Youth (NSLI-Y) Program in Jordan and Morocco, and nine high school students who spent an academic year in Jordan or Morocco through the Kennedy-Lugar Youth Exchange and Study (YES) Abroad Program.

BASIMA ABDULRAHMAN — IRAQ, FULBRIGHT FOREIGN STUDENT PROGRAM

“Applying for the Fulbright Foreign Student Program created a huge transformation in my personal and professional life,” says Basima Abdulrahman, the CEO and founder of KESK, the first company in Iraq to specialize in green building. It was during her program at Auburn University that she became inspired by the concepts of green building and sustainable development. Graduating with a master’s degree in structural engineering, she decided to return to Iraq with a “fresh mind” and a determination to make buildings and infrastructures in Iraq “smart, healthy, environmentally responsible, and resource-efficient.” Basima’s decision to start her own company has led to new opportunities to pursue her passion for environmental protection as a World Economic Forum Foundation Board Member and Cultural Leader; TEDx speaker; and one of the Global Climate Action Summit’s Climate Trailblazers. Her credits also include co-chairing the 2019 WEF Annual Meeting in Davos.

“ Applying for the Fulbright Program created a huge transformation in my personal and professional life.”

STRENGTHENING COMMUNITIE Our partnerships strengthened communities in Morocco, Tunisia, and Yemen, helping to build brighter futures for the youth living in them.

COMMUNITY-BASED TRAINING Developed and managed with AMIDEAST’s support on behalf of the OCP Foundation and Phosboucraa Foundation since 2012, three skills and learning centers continued to achieve local impact in the Moroccan communities they serve — Benguerir, Laayoune, and Dakhla — by helping their youth to find meaningful employment, promoting entrepreneurship, and strengthening the capacities of local nonprofit organizations. A fourth center, Médiathèque, which opened in Khouribga in 2018, offered workshops, training, a library, and cultural activities designed to enhance the education of youth and strengthen the social fabric of the local community.

SIHEM ABDELLAOUI & NASSIMA HAMMAMI — TUNISIA, BLADI

(BUILDING LOCAL ASSOCIATIONS FOR DEVELOPMENT AND INNOVATION)

High school teachers Sihem Abdellaoui and Nassima Hammami were growing alarmed at the high failure and dropout rates in schools in the Kabaria suburb of Tunis — factors they associated with delinquency and violence and the reason many youth take the risky decision to immigrate illegally to Italy on “death boats.” In 2012, they formed the Association of Culture and Citizenship Education (ACEC) with the mission of using art and civic education to give these marginalized youth a creative outlet through which to address their reality. The afterschool programs that ACEC created were warmly received in the community, but ACEC needed to strengthen its institutional structure in order to improve its activities and enhance its fundraising, objectives that the BLADI project helped it achieve. As ACEC grows as an institution, co-founder Siham is increasingly optimistic about its ability to improve the future of Kabaria youth:

“ Civil society can save these young individuals by giving them a chance to be committed citizens with an optimistic goal in life.”

AMIDEAST 2019 ANNUAL REPORT

ADVANCING CIVIL SOCIETY Through BLADI (Building Local Associations for Development and Innovation), a two-year, U.S. Department of State-funded initiative launched in 2018, AMIDEAST worked with Tunisian civil society organizations (CSOs) whose activities help counter violent extremism.

Its success in building the capacity of these organizations has already resulted in better project development and implementation, enabling the CSOs to better serve the youth and the communities they live in.

RESTORING HOPE THROUGH VOCATIONAL TRAINING The AMIDEAST-managed Nahdhat Shabab (Yemen Youth Restoring Hope) project, in its second year, continued to work with youth from a broad cross-section of Yemeni society. By year’s end, it had trained more than 420 young women and men in a variety of vocational, professional, and business skills and linked many of them to local mentors who will facilitate their involvement in the process of rebuilding and restoring their communities.

ELYAS MOHAMMED — YEMEN, NAHDHAT SHABAB PROJECT

Through the Yemen Youth Restoring Hope Project, also known as the Nahdhat Shabab Project (NSP), AMIDEAST is helping youth in a conflict zone find a path to a brighter future for themselves and their society. Elyas Mohammed was unable to find a job due to his lack of a bachelor’s degree or work experience, but that changed after he took NSP’s practical training in electricity and electronics, as well as its Training of Trainers course. Soon after, he was hired to provide training in the maintenance and operation of water pumping systems that are critical in water-scarce Yemen, and later in the installation of solar energy panels. Today Elyas sees his future in the field of renewable energy, and training as his specialty and career focus. "I will not forget how AMIDEAST helped me to be a qualified person for the job market,” he says, adding this advice:

“ Take this opportunity because AMIDEAST will open the doors for you to a better future.”

BUILDING CAPACITY AMIDEAST contributed to expanding the capacity of local institutions across the region to enable them to better serve their constituents. Among the programs focused in this area were several USAID-funded initiatives in the education and workforce sectors in Egypt, Lebanon, and the West Bank.

DEVELOPING A MODERN WORKFORCE

IMPROVING EDUCATIONAL OUTCOMES

As part of the U.S.-Egypt Higher Education Initiative (HEI), the Public University Scholarships Program provided 65 new scholarships to a fifth cohort of students, bringing to 673 the total number of undergraduate scholarships issued to disadvantaged public high school graduates to attend “excellence programs” in Egyptian public universities. In addition, as part of the Workforce Improvement and Skills Enhancement (WISE) Project, AMIDEAST helped bring together the public, private, and educational sectors, creating pathways to employment for youth in Egypt’s technical education system and helping to improve Egypt’s economy.

During the final year of the Quality Instruction Towards Access and Basic Education Improvement (QITABI) project in Lebanon, AMIDEAST provided training on integrating information and communication technology (ICT) in education to mentors from the Ministry of Education, empowering them to support improved student learning by using ICT in K-12 education. In the West Bank, AMIDEAST implemented the Education for the Future Project, working with 32,000 students, 100 schools, and the Ministry of Education and Higher Education to build on earlier USAID-funded initiatives in school-based, locally driven education reform.

ABDELAZIZ MOHAMED — EGYPT, HEI PUBLIC UNIVERSITY SCHOLARSHIPS PROGRAM

Despite having to use a wheelchair since his early teens, Abdelaziz Mohamed was able to study computer science in an excellence program at Cairo University, thanks to an HEI Public University Scholarship. HEI’s emphasis on assisting students with disabilities ensured that he had a full college experience, including a semester at San Jose State University in California. By raising his awareness of the contributions that scientists with disabilities have made to the world, it also inspired him to envision writing software programs to create a brighter future for Egyptians with disabilities. Today, after graduating in 2019 and landing a job as a software engineer in Cairo, Abdelaziz is looking ahead with confidence.

“ Six years ago, when I became a wheelchair user, I thought I couldn’t do any of this. I learned a lot of lessons as an HEI scholar. I learned I should always put in the effort, and try and stop worrying.

If you do, you will be satisfied, and God will reward you with what you deserve and more.”
