Beirut – 12 July 2021: The Government of Japan and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) will support Lebanon’s sustainable recovery, amidst the multiple crises that the country is facing.
Post blast Beirut leads a long road into Reform, Recovery and Reconstruction. UNDP’s Leave No One Behind report released in September 2020 outlines 7 requirements to an inclusive and just recovery process. One key requirement being, that all efforts are people centered and data driven at the same time, rather than building centered and reconstruction based.
Six months after the catastrophic #BeirutBlast, we reiterate our solidarity with the people of Lebanon. Our journey of #BuildingLebanonForward will continue to focus on the rights, dignities, and needs of the people.
Fake news is nothing new. It has been around for a long time and has been largely used as a means of misinformation particularly in wars, because of its ability to twist facts and influence public opinion. With the rapid rise of smartphones and social media
Every person, everywhere in the world, has been affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. Amidst untold suffering the process of producing a Human Development Report often appeared less urgent over the course of 2020.
