By strengthening the capacities of civil society organizations, political parties, decision-makers, youth as well as disadvantaged groups, the Hanns Seidel Stiftung encourages civic and political involvement. Our capacity building interventions help to foster democratic citizenship and political participation as well as tolerance and peaceful coexistence in Jordan and Lebanon.
Furthermore by strengthening the capacities, abilities and self-esteem of local women and Community Based Organizations in comprehensive and sustainable manner the Hanns Seidel Stiftung promotes personal responsibility and self-initiative with a view to actively participating in community life and improving their lives.
In cooperation with local partner organizations the Hanns Seidel Stiftung organizes practice-oriented workshops, seminars, regional and international conferences, exchange visits and publishes publications on different topics.
