These include working with and through local CSO partners to understand local dynamics in each community; and implement community-driven PYD/PVE programming involving youth, local NGOs, local government, and other community leaders through community-specific grants. At the national level, Ma3an works to engage in discussions and advocate for government policy reforms that benefit youth and social cohesion.
