Partners

Conditions for selecting partners:

Impact, in collaboration with Weaam Organization, has developed a set of conditions for selecting organizations to take part in the incubation program.

These conditions are reviewed regularly to ensure that they help to maintain a balance in the type and number of organizations participating:

• Organizations working in the services sector: Based on the donor’s requirements, the partner organization should be working in the services sector and should have worked on at least one service project previously; or already has a service project in its current plan.
• Priority for city projects: The priority is given to organizations working on service projects in the city in order to fill the apparent greater shortfall of services in the city due to the conflict.
• The balance between newly established and existing organizations: Our criteria here takes into account the need to balance between the number of newly established organizations and existing organizations.
• Gender: At least one women’s/gender-focused organization should be among the selected organizations
• Geographical distribution: Priority is given to organizations whose activities cover the cities of Raqqa governorate (Raqqa City, Tal Abyad, Ain Issa, Al-Tabqa), and the cities of Deir ez-Zor governorate.
• Local organizations: This initiative is limited to local organizations whose members of the board of directors come from this governorate:
  • The organization may not be a branch/extension of an international organization.
  • The scope of its work does not expand beyond the provinces of Raqqa and Deir ez-Zor to other Syrian provinces.
• Does not operate on an ethnic or religious basis: The Center excludes organizations founded on religious, ethnic, sectarian, and/or political grounds.
• Their previous participation in the Weaam Programs: The organizations may not have received previous support at the level of management and training from Weaam Program.
