Scale indicators19 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Emerging players

• MIT Solve: Global platform running innovation challenges and supporting social entrepreneurs tackling social impact problems. Comparable to CPF's National Hackathon and Tawasol Forum as a national-scale platform convening youth on innovation, AI, and social challenges.
• UNICEF Middle East and North Africa: UN agency operating across MENA with significant youth, education, and volunteering programs. Relevant as both a major CPF partner (supporting Nahno) and as a comparable institution delivering youth development outcomes at scale in the same geography.

Direct peers

• 42 Network: Global peer-to-peer coding school network whose model underpins CPF's 42 Amman and 42 Irbid campuses. Direct peer for the coding-skills component of CPF's economic-participation pathway.
• Ruwwad Al-Tanmiah: Jordanian and regional community development non-profit focused on youth empowerment, civic engagement, and economic opportunity through local programs. Comparable as a domestic peer operating youth-development pathways in Jordan.
• INJAZ Al-Arab: Regional non-profit delivering workforce readiness, entrepreneurship, and financial literacy programs to Arab youth across MENA, including Jordan. Direct peer in youth-skills and economic-participation programming for the same Jordanian youth cohort CPF serves.
• King Hussein Foundation: Jordanian national foundation operating under royal patronage with a similar mandate spanning education, community development, and civic engagement programs. Comparable as a domestic Jordanian non-profit foundation addressing youth and community development.
• Abdulla Al Ghurair Foundation: UAE-based foundation focused on Arab youth education and economic participation. Most direct peer given its 2026 strategic partnership with CPF to launch the Numo Al Ghurair program in Jordan — both operate youth skills, education, and economic-mobility programs across the Arab world.
• Education for Employment (EFE): Non-profit focused on youth employment and workforce readiness in the MENA region. Direct peer in addressing youth unemployment, skills gaps, and employer-aligned training across the same Jordanian and Arab youth demographic.
• Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Foundation: UAE-based royal foundation operating large-scale youth skills, education, and Arabic-language content initiatives across the Arab region. Highly comparable to CPF as a Gulf royal foundation combining education, knowledge, and youth empowerment at scale.

Broad incumbents

• Qatar Foundation: Major national foundation in Qatar with a much broader scope spanning education (Education City), research, and community development. Comparable as a regional royal/state-aligned foundation investing in human capital and youth development.
