The Mofeed Project provides researchers with foundational resources for understanding how the politics and societies of the Arab world have adapted in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. Its activities focus on promoting and advancing the production of research investigating the effects of the pandemic on the politics, economies, and societies of the Arab world. The project’s hallmarks are the Mofeed-19 Podcast, the Mofeed Digest, and the Mofeed Archive. Mofeed was launched by the Program on Arab Reform and Democracy at Stanford University’s Center on Democracy, Development and the Rule of Law. It is supported in part by the Open Society Foundation.
