The aim of the platform is to present stateless people, researchers, experts, activists, NGOs, government officials and journalists with information related to statelessness. It also aims to shed light on the work of organizations and individuals involved in topics related to stateless people in the region. The goal is to create a network on statelessness in the MENA region, which will serve as a hub for organizations and individual experts to work together in hopes of reducing statelessness.

Within the framework of the network, a number of policy briefs are produced on issues related to mixed migration with the hope of informing policy in the region.
