The Tahrir Institute for Middle East Policy (TIMEP) operates in the international affairs arena with a focus on the Middle East and North Africa. Based in Washington, DC, it concentrates on centering localized perspectives in policy discussions through analysis, policy engagement, convenings, and technical support, aiming to foster accountable, transparent, and just societies in the region. The organization seeks to build spaces for solutions-oriented dialogue, nurture networks of fellows and partners, and establish a legal unit to defend local stakeholders and uphold the rule of law. TIMEP emphasizes that local experts and advocates have the deepest understanding of regional developments and uses this approach to shape policy considerations at the U.S., EU, and UN levels, connecting on-the-ground insight to broader policy outcomes. A recent collaboration noted is its partnership with Atlas Corps to support the Bassem Sabry Democracy Fellowship, which facilitates fellowships and related leadership training in Washington, DC.
