The Civil Center for National Initiative is a Lebanese think-tank which aims to promote secularism and the role of civil society in Lebanese politics, as well as establish a civil and secular state in Lebanon.
Created in 2008, its founding members include statesman Hussein el-Husseini, prime minister Najib Mikati, journalist Ghassan Tueni, poet Adunis, among others, which include members of parliament, university professors and journalists.
In 2009, following a long campaign, the Center succeeded in persuading the Lebanese Ministry of Interior to allow citizens to remove sectarian affiliation from civil records, a landmark in Lebanese history.
