The Arab region receives just 1% of global impact capital—yet it's home to thousands of social enterprises tackling urgent challenges with local solutions. What’s missing isn’t talent—it’s connection.

That’s why Alfanar, alongside Happy Smala, Impact Jordan, and BuildPalestine, is co-creating the Arab Impact Network (AIN): a new effort to strengthen impact infrastructure across the region.

Launched at Impact in the Neighbourhood – Casablanca, AIN aims to:

  • Improve access to capital and markets for social enterprises
  • Build stronger peer networks across countries
  • Advocate for policy change that supports inclusive entrepreneurship

We believe this kind of cross-border collaboration is key to unlocking the region’s full potential. Read more about AIN here.
