About the Strengthening Resilience programme
The Strengthening Resilience - MENA II (SR2) programme is funded by the European Union and delivered by a consortium led by the British Council. It began with a pilot in 2015 and its current phase will continue until January 2021. It is under implementation in Lebanon, Morocco, Tunisia and Jordan.
In Lebanon the programme includes two components:
Component 1: Supporting the preventing violent extremism unit through advising, building the capacity and supporting the delivery of the National Consultation phase that aims at developing the Action Plan of the National Strategy for Preventing Violent Extremism that was ratified in March 2018.
The strategy seeks to develop a “culture of prevention” through an ambitious programme of work that engages a wide array of Lebanese government and society in a national effort to regain social trust, promote citizenship and achieve social justice.
The strategy was developed through an extensive process of dialogue and engagement involving all twenty-nine government ministries. The next phase of development means running a similar engagement and consultation exercise across Lebanese society as a whole.
This national consultation process started in January 2019 and run for approximately one year.
It is a vital opportunity to communicate and promote the strategy’s purpose to both governmental and public stakeholders - providing them with a sense of equity and ownership and ensuring the strategy secures a license to operate.
The national consultation process will therefore be accompanied by a communications campaign and develop a film to engage the public, civil society organisations (CSOs) and the private sector in the process of developing a national action plan to implement the National Strategy for Preventing Violent Extremism with two objectives in mind:
The primary objective is to raise awareness of, and encourage engagement with, the national consultation exercise around Lebanon’s National Strategy for Preventing Violent Extremism.
The secondary objective is to help deliver the National Strategy’s wider objectives to regain social trust, promote citizenship and achieve social justice.
