EFE's Structure

EFE is a network of locally-run, affiliated non-profit organizations working in the Middle East and North Africa.

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.

The EFE-Global team provided programmatic, fundraising, strategic , and capacity building support for its Affiliates. the relationship between EFE-Global and EFE Affiliates in the MENA region is not a "headquarters/field office" relationship, but is rather a partnership between independent non-profit organizations affiliated with each other through EFE's global network.
