About The Civil Society Incubator

Through its Incubator, the Centre For Social Sciences Research and Action shares its expertise of over 10 years.

The Centre For Social Sciences Research and Action's Incubator programme does not follow a ready-made format, but is rather designed and tailored based on the needs of the partner.
