Lowey Middle East Partnership for Peace Act (MEPPA) in December 2020, which dedicates $250m over 5 years to peacebuilding and economic development projects in the region. ALLMEP always keeps its members in touch as they are developing new and expanded programming and facing similar challenges in their work.
