The Faith Based Organizations (FBO) action research project proposes to analyze the work of confessional FBOs operating in Lebanon. The project aims to identify the impact FBOs have on public policy dialogue and formulation in Lebanon, specifically in matters related to education and health. It also examines the attitudes of these organizations towards governance, citizenship and gender equality, and considers their potential to
inform public and political discourse on these issues.
This action research builds upon and complements the mapping of regional non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and the assessment of their service delivery methods and attitudes towards active citizenship and gender. This mapping was implemented within CRTD.A’s Active Citizenship, Gendered Entitlements (ACGEN) research in partnership with the IDRC.
