Within the Middle East, NODEPA currently operates in the Arabian Peninsula. This area is in many ways very developed, yet there are still several areas of need.

NODEPA has invested in a tour and adventure company to help draw Scandinavian tourists to this part of the world and learn from its rich culture and history. This is done in partnership with local actors for shared benefit.

NODEPA also works actively to place highly skilled professionals into key positions, primarily in the health care and education sectors, throughout the region.
