Project Profile – “Safeguarding Human Rights Amid Crisis in Lebanon"

Amid the crisis, Lebanon has witnessed an increase in Human Rights violations specifically towards the most vulnerable groups and individuals. Through promoting a culture of Human Rights and increasing knowledge and skills on how to tackle these issues, CLDH is delivering a 24-month project to promote a Human Rights culture in Lebanon and enable victims of Human Rights violation to become actively engaged in policy reform and public awareness.

About the Program:

This Program is an inspiring and innovative program that puts rights holders in the driving seat, while supporting the movement to an impactful and sustainable fight for its rights in 12 countries. In Lebanon, a vibrant community scene would lobby and advocate for economic and social justice. Despite progress, challenges prevail in a highly restrictive legal environment. The program will give voice, leadership and bounding to a community of qualified activists fighting to advance a common agenda in Lebanon.

The governance expert consultant is required to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the 3RF to identify inefficiencies, gaps, and areas for improvement.

Among CLDH’s beneficiaries, five survivors of human rights violations will be selected to participate in the lobbying and policy reform activities which include roundtable discussions and lobbying meetings. As a preparation phase and to strengthen their capacities, these selected survivors will participate in a series of trainings provided by CLDH team, including this training on safe dialogue and public speaking to participate in the roundtable discussions and meetings with stakeholders.
The Trainer Consultant will prepare material and tools, deliver training sessions, evaluate the outcomes

The consultant will develop a toolkit related on community leaders, team leaders, community mobilization, resource mobilization, security measures within the Lebanese queer contexts.
