National Dialogue Introduces the Tawasol Network: Advancing Local Crisis Response under WPS The Arab Renaissance for Democracy and Development (ARDD), in partnership with UN Women, convened a national dialogue on April 7, 2026, at the Landmark Amman Hotel, marking 25 years of the Women, Peace and Security (WPS) agenda and providing a platform to reflect on local approaches to crisis response and social cohesion in Jordan. The dialogue brought together representatives of women- and youth-led civil society organizations from southern and selected central governorates, alongside government institutions, UN agencies, international organizations, and research actors. Discussions focused on connecting local experiences with national frameworks, while strengthening coordination and preparedness in inclusive and community-responsive ways.

"لقد عاش نغري في آخر سنوات عمره حركية الربيع العربي، وتحمس لها كثيرًا، معتبرًا أنها تجسد ما طرحه من خيار انتفاضة الجمهور في تعدديته المتوحشة ضد قمع وتسلط الدولة المركزية المهيمنة. ولقد توقع أن يمتد نموذج الربيع العربي إلى مناطق عديدة من العالم، محتفيًا بصعود اليسار الجديد في أمريكا اللاتينية." توني نغري وتناقضات الحداثة بقلم @seyidbah المفكر الموريتاني وعضو مجلس الأمناء سلسلة #كتّاب_النهضة ardd-jo.org/blogs/%d8%aa%d…

On Palestinian Land Day, we stand with a people whose connection to their land remains unbroken despite decades of dispossession, displacement, and ongoing violations. This day is not just a commemoration, it is a renewed call for justice, dignity, and rights, and a reminder that belonging cannot be erased. ARDD reaffirms its full solidarity with the Palestinian people and calls for urgent international action to end the assault, protect rights, and halt forced displacement and dispossession. for more: renaissancestrategiccenter.com/news/rooted-in… #LandDay #Palestine #Justice #HumanRights #Gaza #WestBank #Solidarity #Dignity

The Strait of Hormuz isn’t just a chokepoint anymore. It’s turned into the world’s most dangerous gray zone — technically open, practically unstable. No declarations, no formal blockades. Just calibrated ambiguity that shakes markets and exposes the limits of international law. Hormuz is a warning sign for the whole region: when states operate inside the letter of the law but outside its spirit, the system stops working.

Women’s Day in a Burning Region No more slogans. Just one demand: stop destroying our world. A Statement by ARDD on Women’s International Day 2026 Each year, Women’s International Day arrives with speeches, conferences, and renewed commitments to gender equality, justice, and the well-being of women. Yet for millions of women and girls in our region, this day has become a painful moment of confrontation with a reality that grows harsher year after year. Since the last Women’s International Day, tens of thousands of women and girls have lost their lives, with over 28,000 of them in Gaza alone. At the same time, more than 20 million people across the Arab world remain displaced, mostly women and children. Behind these numbers are stories of shattered families, interrupted education, and futures that have been violently cut short. Therefore, on this Women’s International Day, the Arab Renaissance for Democracy and Development (ARDD) calls on the international community to move beyond merely renewing rhetorical commitments to women’s empowerment. Before any meaningful discussion of women’s rights can take place, the protection of human life itself must come first. Women’s rights cannot flourish in the midst of war. Equality cannot be realized in a world that tolerates impunity. And human dignity cannot endure while entire societies are being destroyed.

"في السنوات الأخيرة تزايد الاهتمام بفلسفة هايدغر في الكتابات العربية، بعد انقطاع طويل منذ جيل عبد الرحمن بدوي وعبد الغفار مكاوي، وقد تركز هذا الاهتمام أساسًا على فلسفته الأنطولوجية ونظريته في الوجود والزمان. ومع ذلك، ظلت مقاربته للحداثة غائبة نسبيًا في الكتابات العربية الراهنة، رغم الحضور الواسع لهذا النقاش في الفكر الغربي المعاصر، كما يتجلى في عمل الفيلسوف الألماني يورغن هابرماس الخطاب الفلسفي للحداثة." هايدغر ومأزق الحداثة بقلم @seyidbah المفكر الموريتاني وعضو مجلس الأمناء ardd-jo.org/blogs/%d9%87%d… سلسلة #كتّاب_النهضة

Breaking Barriers: 300 Men and Boys Engage to Support Women’s Leadership in Jordan` In many communities across Jordan, social norms continue to influence perceptions of leadership and decision-making roles. “Empowering Each Other – Phase 8,” implemented by ARDD in partnership with UN Women, aimed to address these dynamics by engaging men and boys in structured dialogue on women’s leadership and gender roles. for More: renaissancestrategiccenter.com/news/breaking-… #تمكين_بعضنا_البعض #EmpoweringEachOther @unwomenjordan

Why an Option to Retire at 55 May Be Reasonable for Some Women Toward a Fair Approach Based on the Life Course and Economic Dignity In public debates on pension systems in the Arab region, the issue is often framed primarily in terms of financial sustainability: fund deficits, rising life expectancy, and growing pressure on public expenditure. Yet, important as this perspective may be, it often overlooks a deeper question linked to social justice between women and men: do current pension designs truly reflect the realities of women’s lives, and their professional and social trajectories? Proposing the option for women to retire at age 55 should not be understood as a call for women to withdraw from the labour market. Rather, it is an approach that recognises the structural differences between men’s and women’s life paths, and the accumulated, often invisible burdens women carry over decades. for more: renaissancestrategiccenter.com/blogs/why-an-o…

On Thursday, 12 February 2026, ARDD welcomed the EU Ambassador to Jordan, H.E. Pierre-Christophe Chatzisavas, to our headquarters in Amman for a constructive exchange with ARDD’s team. Discussions focused on the evolving civil society landscape in Jordan and across the MENA region, including shrinking funding opportunities and limited frameworks for the institutionalization of civil society in Jordan. The meeting underscored the importance of sustaining strong and meaningful dialogue between the EU and civil society actors in the Arab World, particularly in Jordan. The conversation also covered the newly established Euro-MENA Initiative for Democracy and Development and ARDD’s Brussels office (“ARDD Europe”), registered in 2024. Both aim to strengthen dialogue between European and Arab stakeholders and support the exchange of evidence-based knowledge on key regional priorities, including migration, the question of Palestine, and youth engagement. ARDD appreciates the Ambassador’s continued support for Jordanian civil society and for ARDD’s efforts. @EUinJordan
