Missing MENA

@Jtud (WMF): This list is missing a significant number of Arabic-speaking MENA countries that, as a local Wikimedian, I know to regularly receive official grants. Examples would include, but are not limited to: Algeria, Egypt, Jordan, Palestine and Tunisia. Is there a clear reason for this? As far as I understand, this page is supposed to be comprehensive list based on the entire WMF's funding experience --Abbad (talk) 00:04, 10 December 2020 (UTC).

Thanks for the feedback, Abbad. The list is for "Countries that we have funded with few or no challenges for grantees to receive grants, and for us as a non-profit organization based in the United States to award international grants." Local regulations are constantly changing in some countries/regions. There are also US regulations that we must comply with around international grant making. So it is best for funding requesters (especially new requesters) to reach out to grantsadminwikimedia.org first if their country is not listed on the page.
