Launched in late 2018, the two-year Building Local Associations for Development and Innovation, or BLADI, project sought to build the capacity and expand the work of 18 local Tunisian civil society organizations (CSOs) that effectively address issues of social exclusion, marginalization, and extremism in Tunisia.
Launched in October 2013, the $24.5 million USAID-funded D-Rasati 2 project built on the achievements of phase 1 (2011–13) and contributed to the implementation of Lebanon’s Ministry of Education and Higher Education (MEHE)’s Education Sector Development Plan.
Amideast worked in collaboration with World Learning to realize key objectives of the project, including bolstering processes for developing leadership of public schools and strengthening the role of extracurricular activities.
In late September 2014, USAID awarded Quality Instruction Towards Access and Basic Education Improvement (QITABI), a $42 million grant to implement basic education services in Lebanon’s public schools over a four-year period, to Amideast, World Learning, MSI, and Ana Aqra’.
The Careers in Aviation Program, implemented by Amideast in collaboration with the Ministry of Youth, embodies a participatory private sector approach to address the skills gap in Jordan's aviation sector while tackling the country's youth unemployment challenge. Launched in 2023, successive cycles to-date have benefited 180 young Jordanian men and women aged 18 to 35. The program addresses two critical challenges in Jordan: the skills mismatch for jobs required in the aviation sector and the high rate of youth unemployment.
The Disabled Soldiers Empowering Tourism Program, implemented by Amideast in partnership with the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities (MoTA) and the Hashemite Commission for Disabled Soldiers (HCDS), was a 19-month national initiative designed to support 50 Jordanian disabled veterans and their families in Amman, Zarqa, Madaba, and Irbid. The program aimed to support the transition of disabled soldiers from military service to civilian employment, particularly in the tourism and hospitality sectors, by providing them with the skills and confidence needed to succeed in the workforce.
