Founded in 2008 in Jordan, Arab Renaissance for Democracy and Development (ARDD) is a Civil Society Organization seeking to foster transformative change towards an empowered, resilient and just society in the Arab World. ARDD supports marginalized individuals and communities —including refugees and migrants— in acquiring and enjoying their social, political and economic rights, through legal aid, psycho-social support, media and grassroots mobilization, and research and advocacy to raise stakeholders’ awareness locally, regionally and internationally about the challenges that vulnerable persons face in the Arab Region.

Our aspirations for regional change are reflected by the ever-expanding presence of our field offices as we strive to serve vulnerable and underrepresented peoples in need. ARDD operates nine offices over Jordan, including two in the Zaatari and Al Azraq refugee camps, as well as various regional programs and projects.

ARDD’s work at the regional level integrates insights and experiences gained from its country-based work in several areas. It aims at initiating a debate, forging consensus on common solutions to the challenges faced by the Arab world and at putting these solutions into practice.
