Message from the President

Dear Colleagues and Friends,

Welcome to the Association of Middle Eastern Public Policy and Administration (AMEPPA). We are committed to advancing public policy and administrative excellence across the Middle East. Our association serves as a platform for knowledge exchange, research collaboration, and professional development. We aim to address the unique challenges facing our region through innovative solutions and strategic partnerships. Join us in our mission to foster effective governance, enhance public service delivery, and promote sustainable development. Together, we can make a meaningful impact on the future of public policy and administration in the Middle East.

AMEPPA was established in 2011 and institutionalized at the American University in Cairo (AUC) in 2017. Many scholars have helped in its establishment and growth acting as presidents, vice presidents and board members and/or participating in its annual conferences. With an annual conference and an indexed journal, my colleagues have helped see the Association grow year after year. Check more details about the founders, outgoing and current board members on the relevant link. And more importantly, make sure your mark your calendars for this year’s AMEPPA 2024 conference and check the next issue of the MERPPA journal coming out soon. Thank you for your confidence.

Sincerely,

Laila El Baradei
