Registered in Sweden and Jordan, Visto International for Rights and Development is an independent, non-governmental, nonprofit organisation. The word “Visto” is an Italian word that means prospect or insight, which is embodied in Visto International’s work ethos. Visto International aims to promote concepts and practices of sustainable development and human rights across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA region), and its diaspora communities, especially in Europe. Visto seeks to deepen the interaction and exchange of experiences and knowledge in these fields between developed and MENA states. This includes providing training in the development, humanitarian and human rights fields to young researchers, journalists, humanitarian workers, human rights defenders, refugees and the public. In addition, Visto supports, sponsors and publishes research papers and in-depth articles addressing the region’s problems and looking into ways for dealing with these issues on short-, medium- and long-term, in order to present them to decision makers, civil society organisations, and the concerned. Furthermore, Visto International launches programmes and projects relating to development and human rights, with the end goal of contributing to strong institutionalism and progress in the targeted communities. Visto International envisions inclusive societies in the MENA region and within its diaspora communities where values of human rights and justice are embedded in culture and behaviour, and where the 2030 United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are successfully met, including reduced inequalities, whether social status, religious belief, political opinion-, or gender-based.
