Introduction
In February 2024, MENA2050, a homegrown Middle Eastern civil society organization, launched a new initiative known as the Post-Gaza Vision Project. While the proximate cause was an effort to make a constructive contribution to the Gazan war that started in October 2023, the initiative was also consistent with MENA2050’s broader commitment to forging a positive future for the entire region. The MENA2050 Regional Vision Project for the Day after the Gaza War will result in a series of research notes targeting the region’s residents and policymakers. This short note provides readers with background information regarding the MENA2050 and the project, including a description of how the research notes are composed and how the data upon which they depend is gathered.
