Lebanon
In
March 2004, Partners for Democratic
Change conducted a study on the capacity of local civil society organizations
in Lebanon
to manage change and promote reform. The
goal of the study was to utilize the findings to develop programs and trainings
that would meet the needs of local organizations without overlapping existing
efforts. Combining the information
gathered by Partners during this
study and the Lebanese Center for Policy Studies’ on the ground experience and
knowledge, insights into the capabilities and deficiencies of the civil society
sector in Lebanon have been developed.
Partners for Democratic Change (Partners), in collaboration with the Lebanese Center for Policy Studies (LCPS), launched and implemented a project entitled “The Coalition Building and Cooperative Advocacy Program for Young Leaders in Lebanon”. Support for this program has been provided by the United States Institute for Peace (USIP), the US State Department’s Middle East Partnership Initiative (MEPI), and the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Building upon the existing human capital and experience in Lebanon, this program was designed to enhance the collaborative planning and advocacy skills of Lebanese youth by providing them with training in and giving them an opportunity to use conflict resolution, cooperative advocacy, and program development skills.
