Value proposition

NAHNOO is a research and advocacy platform focused on public space, cultural heritage, and good governance.

NAHNOO is a research and advocacy platform for participatory policymaking, working towards an inclusive society in Lebanon. The NGO started off as a student-run club at the Lebanese Public University in 2003, bringing together a diverse group of students around community-based, cultural events. Today NAHNOO rallies volunteers across Lebanon and through multidisciplinary and participatory research, capacity-building workshops, and grassroots activities, we provide a platform for youth and professionals to lead the planning and implementation of advocacy campaigns and gain the skills needed to impact policy-making at the local and national levels.

NAHNOO, works through three areas of intervention that revolve around the city: public space, cultural heritage, and good governance. These axes address how the city is organized, the soul of a city, and how it is run respectively.

At the heart of NAHNOO is a dedicated team of youth volunteers whose passion for change-making drives the NGO’s advocacy projects. Additionally, what sets it apart is its innovative and methodical approach, taking research, whether quantitative or qualitative, as a key pillar in all advocacy campaigns. This strategic vision has made NAHNOO a key reference point for advocacy in the country and internationally.
