About The Civil Society Incubator

Building on the informal support and coaching the Centre For Social Sciences Research and Action has been providing over the years through its first two programmes, Daleel Madani and the Civil Society Knowledge Centre, The Centre For Social Sciences Research and Action formalised these efforts in a new collaborative programme: the Civil Society Incubator, officially launched in 2016. Through its Incubator, the Centre For Social Sciences Research and Action shares its expertise of over 10 years. The Incubator is designed to foster the creation, development, and growth of local civil society and public action initiatives, organisations, or projects.

Incubation at the Centre For Social Sciences Research and Action is done through an array of services such as provision of office space, coaching and mentoring on technical issues, management, administrative matters, research, advocacy, networking, and web development among others. 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.
