Based on its firm belief in the importance of national balanced development and state building in Lebanon now more than ever, HF works collaboratively with state institutions to seek policy solutions. HF seeks to promote the roles of state institutions and sectoral stakeholders in national development in order to derive best practices in good governance and to capitalize on stakeholders’ roles for trust-building in national policy reform. Through its national endeavor for years, HF has developed and mainstreamed unprecedented models of community participation in policymaking, capitalizing on international approaches to public participation and evidence-based decision making. Accordingly, HF seeks to empower and engage institutions and individuals, particularly youth in national policy research and planning.
