Club de Madrid – Strengthening Dialogue and Democratic Discourse through Freedom of Association in the Mediterranean and the Middle East Region

This publication presents the work of two years of project activities in Bahrain, Egypt, Jordan, Morocco, Saudi Arabia and Tunisia, and including study missions and seminars in the Netherlands and Spain. These activities included peer-to-peer consultations with political and government leadership and civil society counterparts, cross-sector dialogue sessions, presentations on relevant transition processes by Club de Madrid Members and political experts, and independent research and analysis conducted by project partner FRIDE. The project has been possible through the guidance and support of local partners, the leadership of Club de Madrid Members, and the financial and programmatic backing of the European Commission and the United Nations Development Fund.
