The Women Policy Center (WPC) or as known by “HEYA PROGRAM” is a regional program funded by the Swedish International Development cooperation Agency (SIDA) and implemented by the Academy for International Development - Middle East and North Africa (AID-MENA) in order to increase women’s active participation in public spheres in the MENA region for sustainable and gender equitable changes in policies and practices. The HEYA intends to address and tackle a focal problem that has been leading to rising levels of women disempowerment and a lack of participation in social, economic and political spheres in the MENA region.
The HEYA program is expected to span for a duration of three years (2013-2016) in which the program will be jointly implemented with five partner national non-governmental organizations in five separate countries in the MENA region; in addition to the Arab Federation for Youth and Civic Participation as an association partner. The five countries the program is set to take place in are; Egypt, Lebanon, Tunisia, Yemen and Jordan, which have common characteristics such as strong confessional backgrounds, sectarian and tribal identities and cultural norms. These characteristics define the social fabric of each community and country, which adversely impact on women’s roles in these countries.
