General Information

MAAN is an independent, Lebanese, non-profit non-governmental think and act tank working across all Lebanese territories, established in 2018. MAAN aims to bridge inequalities within Lebanon through the promotion of a culture of citizen accountability, the production of qualitative and quantitative evidence-based research, and advocacy for stronger institutions of social protection. Born at a time where international organizations are directing their attention to social equality, accountability, and governance, MAAN will target citizens, especially youth, throughout Lebanon, to build a popular, public movement advocating for socio-economic policy benefiting all citizens, rather than clientelistic networks and the elite. With this, MAAN aims to reform socio-economic policy through a rights-based approach and acting as a catalyst between grassroots groups and policymakers. Our Mission Activating common citizenship to inspire social accountability, ownership, and strategy in the reform of social protection Our Vision To foster just and equitable communities
