Theory of Change
A framework connecting inputs, activities, outcomes, and impact to advance sustainable development.
Manar’s Theory of Change Begins with the Impact We Aim to Create
We contribute to strengthening local innovation ecosystems across the Arab region, enabling communities to achieve meaningful and sustainable development.
We do this by creating environments that foster community-led innovation, strengthening active participation, building capacity, encouraging cross-sector collaboration and institutional learning, and connecting key actors within an integrated development ecosystem grounded in data, innovation, and social investment. This approach aligns with the 2030 Agenda and ESG frameworks and standards.
Manar aspires to be a regional hub for expertise and collaboration, bringing together local communities, the private sector, and development institutions to develop solutions shaped by knowledge, experimentation, and local initiative, and designed to create lasting community impact.
