On November 21, 2024, Madaniya briefed the UN Security Council during its official session on Syria. This session focused on the political process and the role played by Syrian civil society.

For nearly fourteen years, Syrian civil society organizations have persevered under exceptional challenges, striving to maintain a civic space where diverse voices and aspirations can converge around our country’s future. Today, as Syria stands at a decisive turning point, our role in reclaiming and strengthening the civic sphere’s political legitimacy has never been more critical.
In this context, Madaniya invites you to participate in its first discussion session to be held in Damascus, where we will examine our role in the current phase. This session will be followed by a press conference launching Madaniya’s work from Damascus.

Press Conference: Madaniya in Damascus – Syrian civil society organizations reclaim their country, their spaces, and their political agency.

On February 12, 2025, Madaniya organized an event at the Arab World Institute under the title "Justice and Accountability in Syria’s Political Transition".

We're on the lookout for an Operations, Finance, and HR Manager to contribute to our organizational development. If you're an entrepreneurial leader with a passion for making a difference, this is your chance!

We're on the lookout for an Head of Programs. The Head of Programs holds overall responsibility for the design, execution, and strategic development of all of Madaniya's programs and projects. The Head of Programs plays a critical leadership role in shaping inclusive civic spaces, advancing the organisation’s democratic values, and representing Madaniya with stakeholders, while also ensuring strategic planning, programmatic coherence, and operational excellence across advocacy, civic engagement and other programmatic efforts.

We're on the lookout for an Program Officer. The Program Officer supports the design, coordination, implementation, monitoring, and continuous improvement of Madaniya's programs and projects, with a particular focus on stakeholder and member communication, outreach, engagement, partnership development, and institutional strengthening. Working under the supervision of the Head of Programs, the Program Officer serves as a key point of contact for member organisations and external stakeholders, contributing to programmatic activities, facilitating participatory processes, supporting programme quality, grant compliance, knowledge management, and organisational learning and helping maintain the relational infrastructure that underpins Madaniya's collective work. This is a mid-level role requiring strong interpersonal, organisational, and communication skills, as well as a solid understanding of Syria's civil society landscape, the political transition context, and principles of locally-led development.
