Team Building, Women’s Rights, Gender Based Violence and Conflict Resolution for Women - Call for Trainer

1. Ruwwad Al Tanmeya Organization Overview

Ruwwad Al Tanmeya is a regional non-profit community development organization that works with disenfranchised communities through education, youth volunteerism, and grassroots organizing. Our approach encompasses an array of programs and initiatives that deal with issues prioritized by the local community and strengthen agency among beneficiaries. Ruwwad is a citizen-led model, based on the premise that local people are those most affected by, and therefore experts in, the socioeconomic challenges they face. Ruwwad bases its interventions on their insights, and designs and implements projects that aim to meet their needs.

Ruwwad Al Tanmeya is built upon three pillars, its three programs, Youth Organizing, Child

Development and Community Support. Due to its sizable scholarship fund, the cornerstone of the

Youth Organizing program, Ruwwad Lebanon is considered a major player in the field of education in Tripoli. To learn more about Ruwwad Al Tanmeya, kindly check https://ruwwad.ngo/

2. Project Objectives

The project title is: “Women led Placemaking for Peacebuilding in Tripoli (WPPT): Promoting and supporting women’s and young women’s active participation in local placemaking initiatives for peacebuilding in Tripoli’s Bab Al Tebbeneh and Jabal Mohsen.”

The key outcome of this project is the increased civic participation of women and young women coming from two conflicting neighborhoods in the city of Tripoli, Lebanon by engaging them in a participatory design and capacity building process. These women will select, co-design and implement the rehabilitation of public spaces in their neighborhoods and will then take part in the activation of these public spaces and their monitoring. They will gain a sense of ownership and belonging to these spaces through the participatory process, enhance their sense of agency and reap the many benefits of using public spaces in their neighborhoods.
