M&E and Reporting Manager

At the same time, HOPe aims at supporting NGOs in Lebanon to be more conflict sensitive by helping them observe different interactions between their projects and their respective contexts, in addition to encouraging them to take steps towards a positive change.

Also, HOPe contributes in advancing recommendations for best practices in the field of social peacebuilding by developing analysis papers, roundtable meetings and events that would raise grassroots voices coming from different contexts, and help in drawing lessons learnt from the field.

In addition, HOPe works with young adults’ groups from several marginalized communities, to provide them with the required technical skills and art tools to promote child and youth rights within their communities.

As a community-based organisation, HOPe aims to facilitate and coordinate the elaboration of local visions of social peace-building, brought together with international experiences and support.

HOPe was established in 2015, and was registered as an NGO in Lebanon in 2019.
