| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A: | REGIONAL SECURITY - The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region is undergoing unprecedented, historic, complex and rapid transformations. The results are violent and in some cases peaceful shifts, reshaping of state-society as well as inter-state relations and changes to the balance of power, fragmentation, polarization, and contests for power and influence among regional rivals. EWI's MENA Program is recognized for its role as a bridge-builder between conflicting parties. It has been providing a platform and safe environment for influential, well-connected experts and officials from the region and beyond to engage in confidential, complex, and constructive conversations that aim at achieving common ground and developing practical solutions for some of the key crises that destabilize the region: 1) Assisting Iraq to become the center of regional cooperation rather than being a theater for proxy wars, 2) Iran-Saudi regional rivalry, 3) Lack of inclusive governance & power sharing in Northeast Syria, 4) Weak economic relations between Algeria and Morocco, 5) Maritime security and preventing incidents at Sea in the Gulf region, and 6) Stemming ISIS & terrorist financing. Current Projects: Iraq and Its Neighbors: Enhancing Dialogue and Regional Integration in West Asia - The project aims at assisting Iraq to transform from being a theater for proxy wars to become a bridge-builder and center for regional interdependence through improved bilateral and multilateral relations with its key five neighbors: Saudi Arabia, Iran, Jordan, Turkey and Kuwait. Key policy ideas will be developed for regional and bilateral cooperation in the areas of security, politics, people-to-people relations, economy, energy and environmental cooperation. Iran-Saudi Dialogue - Over the course of the past five years, we have been building trust between a core group of Iranian and Saudi experts that jointly develop policy solutions in very specific areas including 1) challenges and opportunities for cooperation in the "post-oil" economic era, 2) identifying potential avenues of cooperation in the field of climate change, 3) the role of academic exchange in mitigating conflict, 4) contours of a "non-aggression pact" between both countries and 5) the role of media narratives and discourses in igniting conflicts, portraying and stereotyping "the other,how these narratives could play positive roles in creating change of perspectives. Dialogues on Governance and Security in Northeast Syria - Disagreements between the two main Syrian Kurdish political blocs-the Democratic Union Party (PYD) and the Kurdish National Council (KNC)-and between Kurdish authorities and non-Kurdish communities in Northeastern Syria are negatively affecting efforts to reach a sustainable, peaceful solution in the war-torn country. This project aims to facilitate common understandings between these groups on issues affecting security and stability in the region, including inclusive governance and power sharing. Algeria-Morocco Business Dialogue - This project focuses on multiple business sectors with the aim of overcoming obstacles to bilateral trade between the two neighbors. The dialogues will engage pragmatic business leaders from both countries during a series of high-level conferences. Discussions will center on topics vital to successful entrepreneurship in Algeria and Morocco such as food security, agriculture, healthcare, the impact of digitalization and new technologies and energy-with a particular focus on how to attract quality investment, ensure environmental protection and empower businesswomen. EWI successfully convened the second Algeria-Morocco Business Dialogue on "Women's Empowerment and Entrepreneurship: Challenges and Opportunities," in cooperation with its partner organizations, the German Algerian and German-Moroccan Chambers of Industry and Commerce. The webinar brought together four high ranking female business leaders, two each from Algeria and Morocco, to take part in a cross-border business dialogue aiming to promote greater economic connectivity between the two countries. |

| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4C: | RUSSIA AND U.S. - EWI continues to bridge the strategic divide between Russia and the United States by promoting cooperative engagement between the two countries on issues of mutual interest. In recent years, as Russia's relations with the West have deteriorated, EWI has helped to fill the void in disrupted bilateral governmental channels by sustaining U.S.-Russia dialogue talks on a number of critical issues, including counterterrorism and counternarcotics efforts in Afghanistan and cybersecurity. Even in this challenging political climate, EWI continues to engage key policymakers, experts and business leaders and experts in both Russia and the United States to keep open channels of communication, achieve breakthroughs and deliver policy impact. Recognized as a trusted convener, EWI engages policymakers, business leaders and experts to achieve breakthroughs and deliver policy impact in critical areas affecting the bilateral relationship. In the context of Russia's G8 Presidency in 2006, for instance, EWI launched a series of international public-private consultations on countering terrorism. In 2009, EWI brought together top Russian and American scientists for the first-ever Joint Threat Assessment, which focused on Iran's nuclear and ballistic missile potential. The success of this project led to the creation of similar EWI joint working groups addressing other critical issues of mutual concern, such as cyber security and Afghan narcotrafficking. Since 2017, the Joint U.S.-Russia Working Group on Counterterrorism in Afghanistan has convened American and Russian experts in Moscow, Washington, D.C., Brussels and Vienna to assess the impact of terrorist and insurgent groups on Afghanistan's security and stability. Through the efforts of the Working Group, EWI seeks to bridge the gap in current U.S.-Russia diplomatic engagement and help build trust-even if gradually and incrementally between governments and the political establishments of both countries. In June 2019, EWI convened a fourth and final meeting of the Joint U.S.-Russia Working Group on Counterterrorism in Afghanistan in Vienna, Austria. Against a backdrop of dynamic changes in Afghanistan, American and Russian experts came together to assess major developments in the bilateral relationship; the current security and political situation in Afghanistan; border management concerns; terrorist recruitment and radicalization; and the role of economic development in contributing to a safe and stable Afghanistan. In the framework of the meeting, Ambassador Thomas Greminger, secretary general of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE), addressed the Working Group, speaking on regional approaches to counterterrorism in Central Asia and Afghanistan. These deliberations contributed to the publication of Terrorism in Afghanistan: A Joint Threat Assessment, in May 2020, which provides policymakers with an independent assessment of the terrorist threat in Afghanistan and explores the counterterrorism agenda in the broader geopolitical context of U.S.-Russia relations. Together with Russian and European partners, EWI's Russia and Cyber programs in August 2020 released an analytical report on the application of norms of responsible behavior of states in the ICT environment. In Fiscal Year 2020, the report was submitted to the United Nations to inform ongoing expert discussions. In late 2020 EWI began a military-to-military dialogue involving retired general officers from the U.S. and Russian armed forces. Two initial virtual meetings focused on developing a mutual understanding of the concept of strategic stability as it relates to regional conflicts. |
