We advocate
for an inclusive society
NAHNOO is a research, capacity building and advocacy platform for participatory public policy making, working towards an inclusive society in Lebanon.
Our focus mainly revolves around three main areas of intervention:
Public Spaces, Good Governance and Arts & Cultural Heritage.
Advocacy Focus
Public Spaces
We advocate for inclusive, accessible public spaces across Lebanon. By promoting shared, neutral spaces, we aim to strengthen social cohesion, civic life, and citizens right to the city
Good Governance
We promote transparency, accountability, and participatory governance. Our work empowers citizens to engage in decision making and hold public institutions accountable.
Cultural Heritage
We work to protect Lebanon’s rich cultural heritage both tangible and intangible through awareness campaigns, community engagement, and participatory preservation practices.
