Under the SEE Change project, funded by the European Union Trust Fund Madad, COSV has conducted a feasibility study for the social and solidarity economy in order to better understand the local needs and tailor a “Social Justice Incubation Program” accordingly.
The general objective of this feasibility study is to co-identify with local communities and key stakeholders both the most suitable actors (individuals and organizations) and the optimal environmental factors for a successful and impactful incubation of 20 new social economy initiatives in Beqaa, North, Mount Lebanon, Beirut and South Lebanon.
For this feasibility study, in addition to the consortia partners , COSV has partnered with local and international 2 stakeholders operating in Lebanon such as the Lebanese Organization for Studies and Training (LOST), Make Sense Lebanon, Tripoli Entrepreneurs Club (TEC) and Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ), which have all contributed to the analysis and to the drafting of this report.
