Arab NGO Network for Development

The Arab NGO Network for Development "was established in June 1996, with the membership of 45 network and non-governmental organization from 12 Arab countries. The initiative for establishing ANND came from a group of Lebanese and Tunisian civil society organizations that met in 1993, during one of the preparatory meetings for the International Social Development Summit that took place in Copenhagen, in 1995." 

In 2006, they received one of the first grants from the newly formed UN Democracy Fund for "Democratic Reforms in Arab region; focus on socio-economic processes".
