AAW is a global organization that accelerates social change by identifying and investing in leading social entrepreneurs.

Since 2007, the Levant, Maghreb and Gulf represent 56% of new Ashoka Fellows worldwide. One of her latest appointments is Global Director of Ashoka’s Global Diaspora (GD) initiative. As director of Ashoka's global effort to engage diasporic communities as investors and partners in the work of the organization, Bibars developed a comprehensive strategy for engaging several key entrepreneurs and diaspora leaders worldwide.

Under Bibars' direction, AAW introduced the model of Collaborative Platforms (CP) as a way to have large-scale and high-impact outcomes. With the Arab uprisings and economic difficulties, Bibars has had to double fundraising efforts to sustain past levels of assistance. In the wake of Arab social unrest, AAW has also launched an expanded internet-based media strategy, to raise awareness among young people in the region, and among prospective international partners, about social entrepreneurship and Ashoka's work via www.ashoka-arab.org.
