SOCIAL SCIENCES RESEARCH & ACTION

The Centre for Social Sciences Research and Action was founded in 2006 in Lebanon, under the name of Lebanon Support, in order to document and facilitate information sharing and management, as well as fostering cooperation and partnerships between the different civic and civil actors in Lebanon, in the aftermath of the Israeli July war. Registering officially in Lebanon in 2009, and as the centre's work grew, Daleel Madani was launched as a separate online platform in 2011, in order to cater to more than 1 thousand civil society actors at the time. The Civil Society Knowledge Centre, the multidisciplinary research platform was launched in 2013, consolidating the position of the centre as a research hub, followed by the Civil Society Review, a peer-reviewed journal, in 2015. In 2016, the Civil Society Incubator was established, building on the informal support and coaching the centre had been providing over the years, and in an effort to democratise access to knowledge and tools.
