ABOUT MAKKEN

Makken is a continuation of previous projects developed under the Peaceful Coexistence in Refugees Hosting Communities in Lebanon (PCL) program. It builds on the successes of MACCAN and CATALYST, two projects that empowered  community members to create positive change in their areas.  MACAN focused on the participatory process of planning community initiatives  through working groups that included residents and municipality representatives. These groups launched local initiatives to address community needs and solve problems. For example, in some areas, cultural centers were established, while in others, public parks were developed, or streets were equipped with solar-powered lighting. Each initiative was accompanied by training sessions where residents and working group members participated to better understand the importance of these projects and ensure their sustainability. CATALYST implemented in the same municipalities, emphasized the importance of social impact of circular economy and resource sustainability while also highlighting the role of women in this field. The project supported six initiatives with dedicated funding to implement solutions based on circular economy principles—utilizing wasted or unused resources in the area. This approach helped reduce resource-related conflicts by promoting sustainability. Some of the implemented initiatives included composting projects, hydroponics systems, and eco-bricks production, among others. Makken aims to sustain and expand these efforts by providing ongoing support to young active members (aged 18 to 35) to enhance, scale up, and maintain the initiatives launched under MACCAN and CATALYST. Instead of starting from scratch, participants will build on existing projects, improve them, or introduce new elements to create a greater positive impact on a wider segment of the community. The goal is to ensure long-term engagement and sustainability in their communities.

MAKKEN project is funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ). This project is implemented by Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) in partnership with the Ministry of Social Affairs and in cooperation with INJAZ Lebanon and the municipalities of Al Mina, Bourj Al Yahoudiyeh, Deir Ammar, Kfarhelda, Mishmish, and Tripoli.
