About the Strengthening Resilience programme
The Strengthening Resilience - MENA II (SR2) programme is funded by the European Union and delivered
by a consortium led by the British Council. It began with a pilot in 2015 and its current phase will continue
until January 2021. It is under implementation in Lebanon, Morocco, Tunisia and Jordan.

Resilience is the ability of individuals and communities to recover keep going and grow through adversity.
Resilient individuals are the “self-starters” who both take advantage of and create opportunities for
themselves and others. Resilient communities use their social and political ties to negotiate solutions to the
problems they face. The Strengthening Resilience (SR) programme aims to build young people’s resilience –
their ability to “survive and thrive” whatever pressures and hazards they confront.

In Lebanon the programme involves building the individual resilience and sense of citizenship of youth,
engaging them in community development and enhancing their role in political participation in order to
strengthen communities against extremist narratives and reduce the appeal of violent extremist groups.
This is being done through Shabeb Act, a project that brings together 11 civil society organisations from all
the 8 governorates and the local authorities to work together on increasing the resilience of their
communities.

The 350 participants of the program will learn to identify needs within their communities and respond to them
by implementing 15 social action projects across Lebanon. The Shabeb Act platform will then highlight and
amplify those social action projects to encourage and push youths to take similar positive pathways.
