Training on the Methodology for Designing Community Resilience Initiatives

Beirut – within the framework of interactive capacity building, Association Najdeh and the Organisation of the Movement for Peace conducted a multi-phase training workshop over 5 days on the methodology for designing community resilience initiatives. The training included how to derive ideas from the real problems and community needs faced by women, mechanisms for planning, organising, implementation, and evaluation, and how to identify the needs of the local community. Participants were motivated by the importance of their role in the community, and the training included the development of several initiative plans through training groups. 200 participants from the local community took part in the training, which was facilitated by Ms. Fatima Shaheen and Ms. Amal Ghazlan. This was part of a project for humanitarian support and providing protection services for women and the families of Palestinian and Syrian refugees, as well as the host communities in the Shatila and Burj Al-Barajneh camps in Lebanon.
