About us
The Maghreb (or المغرب, meaning “the west” in Arabic) is the strategically significant region of north-west Africa whose nations share a broadly similar Arab-Imazighen (Berber) language, culture and history.
These energy-rich and geographically diverse nations are Algeria, Libya, Mauritania, Morocco, Tunisia and the disputed Western Sahara.
Formerly the Arab Research & Advocacy Bureau (ARAB), the Maghrebi Geopolitical Research Bureau (MGRB) provides credible insights on key socioeconomic indicators affecting the Maghreb region.
Many existing organisations provide geopolitical research on Maghrebi nations in the context of wider Middle Eastern and North African (MENA) analysis.
This “MENA approach” overlooks the specific socioeconomic characteristics that are unique to the Maghreb, distinguishing north-west African nations from their other African, Arab, and Muslim neighbours.
Our authentic approach to geopolitical analysis focuses on the Maghreb region, providing targeted and comprehensive insights presented in a user-friendly format.
These insights enable businesses and policymakers to deploy focused and effective regional projects, yielding measurably improved results.
