Diwan Alomran signed a partnership agreement in August 2025 with the European Endowment for Democracy (EED) as part of its ongoing efforts to support its projects and strengthen its institutional and community development programs. This partnership aims to enable Diwan Alomran to implement high-quality projects that contribute to promoting sustainable development, enhancing civic participation, and reinforcing the principles of good governance, democratic values, and human rights.
This agreement comes within the context of Diwan Alomran’s pursuit to expand its cooperation with international institutions and benefit from the technical expertise and financial support provided by the European Endowment for Democracy as an organization that supports democratic initiatives and civil society in the region.
The European Endowment for Democracy is an independent organization established in 2013 through a European initiative with the aim of supporting democratic transformation in a number of regions. It works to support civil society organizations, grassroots initiatives, activists, and independent media by providing flexible and rapid-response grants that take local contexts into account and contribute to promoting pluralism and respect for human rights.
Diwan Alomran is a think tank dedicated to studying and analyzing urban development issues from an integrated perspective that considers social, economic, and environmental dimensions, with the aim of achieving sustainable and equitable urban development. The organization is guided by a vision that views urbanism as a social system reflecting the nature of relationships within societies, and it works to develop policies that promote sound urban governance, safeguard the right to adequate housing, and support transparency and accountability in decision-making processes. Diwan Alomran also seeks to influence policymakers to ensure that urban policies are inclusive, equitable, and aligned with human rights principles and environmental protection.
This partnership reflects Diwan Alomran’s commitment to building effective and sustainable cooperation that supports its projects and enhances their long-term positive impact on target communities.
