SWANA stands for Southwest Asia and North Africa and is often used instead of the term “Middle East.” While both refer to the same general region, SWANA focuses on geography rather than the political lens used in Western definitions.

You may also see similar terms like MENA (Middle East and North Africa), MENASA (Middle East, North Africa, South Asia), or SSWANA (South and Southwest Asia and North Africa). The main difference comes down to naming: “Middle East” is more widely known, but SWANA is considered more accurate and inclusive.
