Abstract:
The first Middle East and North Africa Regional Conference of Psychology (MENA RCP) was held in
Dubai, United Arab Emirates, December 13–18, 2003, under the auspices of the International Union of
Psychological Science (IUPsyS), the International Association of Applied Psychology (IAAP), and the
International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology (IACCP). It was organized by a local Conference
Committee and by the Yemen Psychological Association (YPA), in collaboration with the Egyptian Association
for Psychological Studies (EAPS). High attendance, with participation from 35 countries, including 17 from the
neighbouring Middle East and North Africa region, was a major achievement of the conference. Conference
participants, many of them leaders of their national psychology associations, who also attended the
concomitant National Capacity Building Workshop organized by the IUPsyS, signed an official Declaration to
create a Regional Council of Arab Psychological Associations during the coming year and to follow this first
MENA Conference with a second conference to be held in Amman, Jordan, in 2005.
