About the project

The Civil Society Observatory aims at analysing and consolidating theories, experiences, practices, and tools on and about civil society in Lebanon. It seeks to study internal dynamics and practices, as well as contextual legal, political, and funding environments, and how these affect civil society’s initiatives and policy impact. It includes data and evidence-based research and analysis, resources, locality profiles, interactive mappings, and an aggregated online library on civil society work in Lebanon. The Civil Society Observatory aims to engage local and international practitioners, academics, experts, policy stakeholders, as well as the donor community.
