About MENACivicTech

MENACivicTech is an independent, open knowledge directory documenting civic technology, digital democracy, digital rights and open government across the Middle East and North Africa.

Our mission

We believe access to knowledge is a precondition for stronger civil societies. Our goal is to make the region's civic technology ecosystem discoverable, well-documented and useful to everyone working toward more open, participatory and accountable societies.

What you'll find here

A continuously growing directory of organizations, projects, tools, funding opportunities, reports, courses, case studies and a comprehensive glossary — all structured for easy discovery in English, Arabic and French.

Who it's for

Civil society organizations, NGOs, journalists, researchers, universities, governments, donors, startups, students, policy makers and digital rights defenders.

Editorial approach

Listings are curated for relevance and accuracy. We link to primary sources, avoid tracking-heavy monetization and prioritize accessibility and performance.
