Final Report of the First Annual West Asia-North Africa (WANA) Forum, 19-20 April 2009, Amman (Jordan)
The First Annual WANA Forum in Amman gathered around 70 eminent individuals from WANA and partners from outside the region to assess regional challenges and identify opportunities for regional cooperation in addressing them. They convened not as representatives of states, but as individuals of different professions, socio-economic backgrounds and ideologies, motivated by a sense of responsibility to combat social and economic inequality and environmental degradation for the sake of improving the lives of people in WANA and restoring human dignity for all.
The WANA Forum is a long-term initiative that brings together decision-makers, civil society organisations, religious leaders, researchers, business owners, media representatives and other relevant regional stakeholders. It employs a participatory methodology in the work of the annual Forum and interim consultations, and seeks to engage the public in the process. Three phases over a five year time period have been suggested: to identify key issues and initiatives, develop concrete policy proposals and advocate these policy proposals to decision-makers for implementation.
