Issues and Causes | Arab Peace Corps.

The Arab World is experiencing turmoil and conflicts not witnessed since colonial times, with nation states threatened from within and without. The rise of military dictatorship in the 50's, the Arab­Israeli conflict, the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, the Iran-­Iraq War, First and Second Gulf Wars, the civil wars in Syria, Iraq, Yemen and Libya, these combined events formed a watershed in the Arab World. Millions died and more millions with permanent disability and mental scars, millions made refugees, trillions in fortunes and livelihoods were diverted from society building to regional, and sectarian wars, destroying nations and threatening the existence of others. Military, nationalistic political and sectarian-driven ideology, combined with corruption, incompetence, inefficiency, and state wealth, nepotism, lack of transparency and accountability, lack of fairness and equal opportunity, low standards of living, lack of mentoring and inept bloated abusive humiliating bureaucracy, and weak governing institutions — all are responsible for the failure of many of the Arab States, with investment in winless wars, and conflict produced the dire results we see today. The future of the Arab world lies with its youth, who, unfortunately, for the most part, are marginalized, unemployed, and looking for opportunities and decent life. The Arab Peace Corps through our volunteers want to change all that. We believe that investment in education, scientific research, societal transformation, job and skills training, improved health services, through human capital investment and the much-needed overhauling of the entire educational system from outmoded lecturing and memorization to advanced ytical skills and creative thinking are the only way forward. The situation is no different for North African immigrant communities in Europe.

SalamNation/OummatSalam is a voluntary program similar in purpose and mission to the Arab Peace Corps designed to allow nationals of countries in the Middle East, even the Islamic world to sponsor this domestic program to be funded by governments and private sector within the country. Recognizing that some countries may not wish to send its citizens outside the country, or that for personal and family reasons volunteers may choose to serve in their countries, the Arab Peace Corps developed and will sponsor the SalamNation/OummatSalam voluntary peace corps, Thus allowing college and university graduate to serve and volunteer in their country.

Corporate Governance/Conflict of Interests: | Arab Peace Corps.

At the New Arab Foundation and the Arab Peace Corps, we try to set the standards for transparency, corporate responsibility, corporate governance, and certainly the conflict of interests. We go beyond that to ensure there is no lifetime tenure for founders or initial executive director by building measures in the bylaws for terms limits to avoid the common issues many Arab or Arab-American organizations face, where the founders of supposedly publicly funded organizations have tenure for life. We hope that you as board members and supporters help us keep this commitment by ensuring that we keep to the highest level of transparency and corporate governance. In keeping with our commitment to transparency and disclosure, we've made relevant corporate do ents available for below. The Arab Peace Corps as an initiative of the New Arab Foundation is governance by the same standards. Note: US Tax Exemption Certificate is on file.
