We would like to invite our community to reflect upon the programs, milestones, and impact of AMEL in 2024 through three recently published reports.
The first report is the 2024 annual report, which provides an overview of the range of work undertaken in pursuit of the AMEL mission to mobilize, empower, and unite young leaders and activists from the Middle East and Africa (MEA) to build resilient, inclusive societies that are free from discrimination, persecution, and violent coercion, and to advocate for policies in support of these goals. It was an action-packed year with more projects and impact than ever before, reaching thousands of young MEA changemakers, Sudanese refugees, and top international decision-makers. We invite you to peruse the report to learn more about AMEL’s unique and impactful work in human rights, democracy, peace, pluralism, and more.
We also invite you to take a deeper look into the strong, across-the-board results and impacts of the AMEL Institute training program. An independent evaluation by Metra highlights numerous findings confirming the success and effectiveness of the program. The evaluation is available in two formats: a detailed report (available here) and a brief presentation (available here). Both formats highlight key findings, including:
The program achieved extremely high levels of satisfaction. 95% of participants rated the program a 6 or higher on a 7-point scale, and nearly 90% affirmed that it gave them the skills and knowledge they sought.
Statistically significant knowledge gains were achieved across all 10 subject areas covered by the program.
A cumulative 216% increase was noted among all participants in terms of their self-reported understanding of the Holocaust between the start and end of the program (for 40% of participants, it was their first time learning about it).
The program demonstrably strengthened participants’ perceived ability to lead change, with 87% of participants reporting feeling able to lead change in their communities by the end of the program.
