Hi, it looks like you

Hi, it looks like you stumbled upon an archived link for the MEPI website. Our website, http://www.mepi.state.gov, was revamped earlier this year but is still under construction by the MEPI team.

We will alert you when reconstruction is complete, and hope you’ll continue to check back on our home site for updates on our programming and impact in the region. I’d also encourage you to visit the websites of MEPI’s regional offices in Tunis (http://www.medregion.mepi.state.gov/ ) and Abu Dhabi (http://www.abudhabi.mepi.state.gov/) for examples of MEPI support to grassroots civil society groups and NGOs across the Middle East and North Africa.
