The McGill Middle East Program (MMEP) was founded in 1997, committed to the belief that the reduction of inequality and the promotion of civil society and social justice are intricately related to peace building.
The MMEP, in cooperation with its Jordanian, Israeli, and Palestinian institutional partners, has established nine rights-based community practice (RBCP) centres in some of the most disadvantaged areas of Palestine, Jordan and Israel. The MMEP's International MSW Fellowship at McGill University has more than 50 alumni who have built the centres and continue to work across the Middle East to advance social justice.
Despite the deepening violence and uncertainty of the past decade, the MMEP network's centres have implemented innovative programs to promote empowerment, equality and civil society amongst disadvantaged communities coping with conflict and economic hardship.
The nine centres already assist more than 120,000 people each year with six additional centres, including in areas of East Jerusalem and Sderot, in various degrees of development.
