The Arab Resource Collective (ARC) was founded in 1989. Its vision is towards a society of social justice, freedom, and equality where each human being has the potential to build his/her capacities and to convert rights into a lived reality across the Arab world through its mission to work, along with partners, on knowledge production and ownership, development of human resources, enhancement of participation, networking, and advocacy culture and practices. To achieve its mission, ARC adopts a Holistic, Integrated, Inclusive, Participatory, and Empowering Approach (HIIPEA) for defining its needs and objectives.
