Siren

Siren helps transform organisations from across the public and social sectors to better serve their communities. Blending holistic change management support with cost-efficient technologies, we help our partners become more responsive, efficient, and impactful.

With a track record of driving change in diverse contexts, including low-resource and conflict-affected environments, we support decision-makers to take a system-wide look at their reality and craft targeted transformation strategies. Our work spans multiple industries, but we are known for catalysing change within the security, governance, health, social protection, and justice sectors.

Through our work, we ultimately aim to lay the foundations for societies to prosper and for people to realise their full potential.

Chevening and Siren

The Chevening Siren Scholarship will offer one scholarship to a Lebanese or Palestinian national who would be normally resident in Lebanon and be located there at the time of making an application.

The scholarship will support this student to undertake a master’s degree in Governance, International Development, Human Rights, Public Financial Management / Administration at one of the UK’s top 20 universities (according to the QS ranking).

“We are partnering with Chevening because building safe, just, and free societies involves nurturing the best talent and ideas until tangible impact is felt at the community level.

“With thousands of Lebanon’s brightest individuals being forced to leave the country in search of work due to the crippling financial collapse, it has rarely been more urgent to support Lebanon’s future change makers.

“By providing financial support and a world-class educational experience for students from Lebanon, we hope they will stay in the country to contribute to rebuilding its institutions.
