Dear Friends and Partners of the Renaissance Strategic Centre (RSC), the think tank of the Arab Renaissance for Democracy and Development (ARDD),
As we enter 2026, we welcome you to the sixth edition of the RSC Bulletin. At a time of ongoing conflict, shrinking humanitarian space, and mounting governance challenges across the Arab region, this edition highlights ARDD and RSC’s work in advancing inclusive governance, social justice, and rights-based responses. From participatory governance and women’s and youth leadership initiatives to sustained engagement on the question of Palestine, forced displacement, and social protection, the Bulletin reflects both the urgency of the moment and the resilience of those driving change on the ground.
In the words of Chan Hellman, “hope is the belief that we have the power to make it so.” Guided by this belief, we remain committed to evidence-based analysis, meaningful partnerships, and amplifying marginalized voices. We hope this edition offers reflection, insight, and renewed purpose as we work together toward a more just and inclusive future.
