General Information
Since its inception back in 2003, Development for People and Nature Association DPNA, was able to create positive relationships with the local community members, stakeholders, private sector, municipalities, local NGOs, and others who help shape the needs in the projects that DPNA implements. Moreover, DPNA believes in networking, which has supported it to become one of the leading organizations in many regional and national campaigns and networks.   Although DPNA works on the national level, its main office is based in Saida city where it was established and initiated. DPNA opened El Moltaqa, an interactive space, to create positive change in the cultural and art life of the city through youth empowerment and motivation.   4 Staff Sources of funding vary from local isntituations, donors and DPNA

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

El Moltaqa can contribute to the Network in it being enriched with a number of experienced civil society activists, leading in dialogue, culture of peace, promoting reading, enhancing culture and art. The values and principles that El Moltaqa believes in and ALF Network meets it with, will be reflected in the various art and cultural events that will be organized yearly, in addition to spreading the Lebanese culture and heritage, from city to city inside Lebanon and even on a wider scale with other Mediterranean countries. 

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

El Moltaqa wants to join ALF network, as it sees it a great opportunity for networking with various civil society organizations across the Mediterranean. We believe the vision and goals of ALF Network meets with the vision of El Moltaqa.
Although we are newly established, but El Moltaqa is created by a number of civil society activists having a wide experience in that field. They believe that individual work does not create much effect in the society as building networks and relationships with other organizations and associations having the same vision, and thus sharing experiences, ideas and eventually creating mutual respect and exhance between cultures and countries.
El Moltaqa is excited to learn from the experiences in ALF network and its partners in spreading cultural and art life in the city.
