Every year, the Center selects a group of local organizations to take part in the various programs it provides. This selection process follows a strict set of criteria, taking into account the limited capacity of the incubation program. For example, in 2018, Impact conducted a mapping of civil society organizations operating in Raqqa whereby eight local groups from different sectors were selected for the program’s first phase. Since then, the Center has happily increased its capacity to nearly threefold – to include 25 organizations in 2019 in the governorates of Raqqa and Deir Ezzor.
