Works for Understanding and Peace in the Middle East

NECEF

About Us

NECEF is a Volunteer organization that operates with two broad defining objectives:

 

1. To promote a greater understanding of the History, culture and contemporary situation of the Arab World in general and of the Arab Middle East in particular; and,

 

2. to fund humanitarian, educational, development and health related projects in that region.

 

NECEF was founded in 1984 and has charitable status from Revenue Canada.

 

To fulfill its educational mission, NECEF publishes The Annual NECEF Report, organizes speaking tours and public lectures, and supports public educational activities through co-sponsorship of films, speakers, and artistic displays.

 

Since its inception, NECEF has managed projects worth over $1 million. These projects have included regional studies of Arabs and high-school curricular coverage of the Arab World.
