Project Cycle Management Trainer

About the Civil Society Enablement unit:

The CSEU at Basmeh & Zeitooneh started in 2018 to develop the capacities of local community-based
organizations, civil society organizations, and initiatives to enhance their skills and provide them with the
necessary support that addresses community issues and focuses on enhancing awareness and
empowering individuals and groups in civil society.

About the project:

Basmeh & Zeitooneh is embarking on the second cycle of the Fostering Refugee Leadership Project (FRL)
in Lebanon. The aim is to empower Refugees-Led Organizations (RLOs), Community-Based Organizations
(CBOs), and Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) to take charge of their community's future by identifying
problems, needs, and implementing tailored solutions. We are seeking to train and support
CBOs/RLOs/CSOs, to share their experience and expertise with the participants. To reach this aim, we are
currently looking for a Project Cycle Management trainer to facilitate and contribute to the organization
training sessions and workshops for the FRL Project.

The project aims to develop and empower civil society actors by providing professional training and
coaching through an in-depth analysis of the needs of civil society organizations and the continuous
follow-up of these organizations during the training period.
