Arab Thought Forum
Description
The Arab Thought Forum (ATF) is committed to the belief that state structures must be developed to serve and be responsive to an active and critical public, which is conscious of its obligations and duties, as well as its rights and entitlements
The Arab Thought Forum (ATF), known as Al Multaqa in Arabic, was established in Jerusalem in 1977 as an independent Palestinian organization. Based on democratic principles such as openness, transparency and freedom of expression it provides a forum for Palestinian decision makers, public opinion leaders and citizens to express their views and has no affiliation to any government, political party or other organization. The strength of ATF lies in its political impartiality allowing it to freely engage in a broad range of subjects related to the Palestinian cause of democracy building and ultimately independence.
As a leading Palestinian organization specializing in socio-economic development, ATF has served for two decades as an important platform for the presentation of development strategies for Palestinian nation building. Initially focusing on scientific studies and research, ATF has expanded to actively identify critical issues for analysis and public debate and has selectively initiated important pilot and long term projects in order to influence and contribute to the development of the Palestinian people.
