Despite the challenges we faced throughout 2025, we are closing the year with excellent news from the MENA region: the PM4NGOs Middle East Regional Hub has now been officially launched and formalized.
On November 27th, our Executive Director, Edson Marinho, had the honor of signing the agreement between CIFAL Majmaah and PM4NGOs alongside Dr. Aiman, establishing PM4NGOs’ presence in the MENA region. This milestone will strengthen our work and enhance our impact.
The Hub is scheduled to begin operations in early 2026, aiming to provide improved support to candidates, trainers, and partners. It will also focus on innovating through new or updated courses, such as Project DPro in English and Arabic, Training of Trainers, and Practitioner Examinations in both languages – while expanding our network of Country Champions and Hubs across the entire MENA region.
During this third PM4NGOs mission to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, we were also pleased to have CecÃlia Morales, PM4NGOs Marketing and Communications Manager, participate in the LEAP FAST program and contribute to discussions on the final details of the International Project Management Conference planned for 2026. More exciting news will follow soon!
A special thank you goes to Dr. Faisal, who has led this initiative from the very beginning, and to Majmaah University for their unwavering support and belief in building a better world, one project at a time.
