What We Believe

In translating our beliefs into actions, ConnectME seeks to play a role in assisting the peoples of the Arab world to fulfill their aspirations voiced on the streets across the region: to enjoy economic reform based on the value of fairness, build democratic societies founded upon equality and live in freedom as the only pathway to true equity and sustainable prosperity.

• 

  ConnectME believes that through the economic empowerment of all demographic groups, including youth and women, democratic societies of equal citizens can be fostered and sustained. 

• ConnectME believes that economic empowerment provides citizens with a personal stake in their own future and that of their state, which is a critical means to foster civic duty and realize individual potential.

• ConnectME believes that the sense of fulfillment and dignity experienced through economic empowerment is the fundamental building block for healthy, peaceful and cooperative societies, and conflict-free and democratic states.

• ConnectME believes that the most effective way to create economic empowerment and opportunity is to support locally-driven solutions for the region’s economic challenges.

In translating our beliefs into actions, ConnectME seeks to play a role in assisting the peoples of the MENA region to fulfill their aspirations. Aspirations of enjoying economic opportunities. Aspirations to build democratic societies founded on equality. Aspirations to live in freedom and shared prosperity.
