EFE’s Structure
EFE is a network of locally-run, affiliated non-profit organizations working in the Middle East
and North Africa. Since inception in 2006, EFE established affiliated non-profit organizations in
seven countries in the MENA region (Egypt, Jordan, Morocco, Palestine, Saudi Arabia, Tunisia,
and Yemen), with global support hubs in the United States, Spain, and the UAE, and a presence
in Algeria. Each EFE Affiliate is managed by local staff and governed by a local board of directors
made up of accomplished professionals and leaders from various sectors.
EFE’s Global team provides programmatic, fundraising, strategic, and capacity building support
to its Affiliates. The relationship between the EFE-Global and EFE’s Affiliates in the MENA region
