Empowering civil society and youth for an inclusive digital transformation

Lebanon Strengthening Institutions and Civil Society
February 2023
August 2025

This intervention aims to increase the participation of 10 youth-led CSOs at the national level within governance processes through enhanced technical, operational, and institutional capacities, improving CSOs ability to advocate for positive change. In parallel and recognizing the important role that youth-led MSMEs/Start-ups will play in Lebanon’s economic recovery, the technical capacities of 10 youth-led MSMEs/Start-ups will be strengthened where necessary and the way they operate will be digitally transformed. The Action will also target at least 200 youth in marginalised communities where ESA will lead workshops in these communities on business development skills.
