קרן פרידריך נאומן לחירות פועלת בישראל מאז 1983 והקימה את הדסק הפלסטיני שלה בשנת 1994. עם צוות ישראלי-פלסטיני במשרד משותף בירושלים, הקרן שואפת להיות פלטפורמה של חדשנות לקידום החופש בחברה, ולחיזוק הקשר עם האיחוד האירופי ולתרום לקידום הדיאלוג הישראלי-פלסטיני לקראת שלום. יחד עם הפרטנרים שלנו אנו רוצים לחזק ערכי ליבה ליברליים כמו שלטון החוק והדמוקרטיה, זכויות אדם ואזרח, עקרונות כלכלת שוק ויזמות לצד תרבות דמוקרטית של סובלנות ופלורליזם.
