Who We Are: Citizens
Nahwa al-Muwatiniya is a non-profit organization founded by individuals from all walks of life and from a mosaic of political, cultural, and religious backgrounds. We are members of civil society concerned with the state of affairs in Lebanon and beyond, and we seek to effect positive change through informed activism and engagement.
What We Stand For: Principles
We believe democracy begins with inclusive, educated, and engaged individual behavior which, when nurtured and multiplied, will lead to the improvement of civil society and the betterment of our national, regional, and global future.
What We Want: Visionary Change
We seek a progressive, forward-looking democratic society based on social justice, knowledge, and an advanced economy simultaneously in harmony with the environment. We thus aim to alter the political culture in Lebanon-and the wider Arab world-towards a more participatory governance system where people exercise their rights and responsibilities. That is, towards greater citizenship.
What We Do: Achievements
Nahwa al-Muwatiniya empowers and mobilizes citizens towards active participation in governance through the following:

research issues of importance to the public and publish study results
improve education and develop essential individual and group skills
enhance awareness while advocating and lobbying for change
increase partnerships between individuals, organizations, and countries

Our Social Contract

improve governance through institutional, not individual, channels
respect and strengthen citizens’ rights
reject discrimination in all its forms
engage in self-criticism and individual accountability, taking responsibility for one’s actions
promote partnerships and participation
shun individualism and indifference
seek creativity and innovation
reject surrender and defeat
value diversity and channel its inherent constructive aspects towards development
persevere in the path of change
