Arab Network for Civic Education

What Arab Network for Civic Education does

Arab Network for Civic Education (ANHRE, الشبكة العربية للتربية المدنية) is a Jordan-headquartered civil society network organization that delivers civic, human-rights, and democratic-citizenship education across the Arab region, primarily in Jordan and Egypt. Its core programmatic portfolio comprises three flagship programs — Human Rights Education, Democratic Citizenship, and Advocacy for the Right to Education — alongside specialized initiatives including the 'We Lead' sexual and reproductive health rights program, the Influential Youth Union Academy (graduating ~60 youth per year), the Women for Leadership project spanning 9 Jordanian governorates, and the cross-border 'Women, Films and History' film-club initiative in Aswan, Sohag, Madaba, and Wadi Musa. ANHRE operates the Anhar Platform (epanhre.org), a remote alternative-learning environment that supports program continuity and solidarity beyond in-person workshops.

The organization's go-to-market is community-led: it mobilizes civil society actors, women, youth, and local communities through dialogue sessions, conferences (notably the annual Global Education Action Week hosted in Jordan under ministerial patronage), workshops, and training programs. It does not sell products or services and charges no fees to participants. Revenue is generated entirely through grants and institutional support from donors and international development organizations, with the Jordanian Network for Education for All serving as a core institutional counterpart and the Global Partnership for Education providing international advocacy alignment. The organization has no disclosed core technology stack beyond the Anhar learning platform, no commercial products, no AI/ML capabilities, and no disclosed headcount or financial figures; it operates as a non-commercial, grant-funded civil society entity whose competitive position rests on its membership network, published pedagogical methodology ('Adult Education for Community Change'), and embedded relationships with regional ministries and international education coalitions.
