Organization Overview and Background

Munathara’s mission is to foster a vibrant, constructive and inclusive public sphere in the Arabic
speaking world; The Munathara Initiative was founded in since 2012, as is a registered non-profit
organization, with offices in Washington and Tunis, seeking to strengthen public conversation in
the region by engaging underrepresented voices in high-impact debates around the most
pressing issues facing their communities, using innovative online technology, on-the-ground
workshops, and live, televised events.
Since its establishment, it delivered debate workshops to more than 10,000 participants across
the Arab world, received more than 11,000 video submissions, registered 183,000 members on
its platform, attracted 650,000 Facebook followers, racked up more than 16 Million video views
online, and reached countless millions more through its popular live television program, with the
aim of creating an independent and inclusive discussion and debate platform in the Arab region.
The Munathara Initiative engages Arabic speaking youth (aged 16-30) in public debates through
on-the-ground training, video debate competitions, and televised debates. Through an outreach
program, youth learn key skills to express their opinions and build coherent arguments while
engaging in constructive exchanges with others. Online, Munathara built the Arabic speaking
world’s first video debate website. Registered users view and rate videos to determine the top
contributions to recurring debate competitions (Musabaqat Munathara). Winners appear in live,
televised debates, where they participate alongside a major public figure (i.e., an elected official
or public intellectual).
In addition, The Munathara Initiative promotes the voices of youth, women, and marginalized
communities in the Arab public sphere to meet their growing desire for participation in society,
politics, and governance. Munathara’s debate competitions offer unique opportunities for
participants from marginalized communities to engage in live debates alongside policymakers
and thought leaders streamed to millions of viewers.

In 2019, The Munathara Initiative launched its program Tunisia Decides, the first and only
presidential debates live on TV in the Arab world. A program that is designed to ensure the
integrity of Tunisia’s electoral discourse, direct engagement of the citizens in the process, and
ultimately serving solely the interests of the Tunisian voter.
The Munathara Initiative is building on a nine-year capital of the trust, as a neutral arbiter
for vibrant, constructive, and inclusive debate in Tunisia and the rest of the Arab world.
