Initiative To Support Persons With Disabilities In Lebanon
The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia (ESCWA) are jointly launching a new initiative to support persons with disabilities and reduce their exposure to increasing vulnerabilities due to Lebanon’s manifold crises – the dwindling economy, the COVID 19 pandemic and most recently the Beirut Port explosion.

The “Rapid Socio-Economic Assessment of the Areas Affected by the Beirut Port Explosion” looks to examine the adverse impact of the Beirut Port explosion.
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.

Leaving no one behind” is above all ensuring the protection of the human rights of the most vulnerable. People left behind are those most at risk of not enjoying their civil, cultural, economic, political or social rights.


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.
Our Projects
UNDP plans and implements its programs in partnership with key stakeholders, from government, UN agencies, NGOs, international financial institutions and bilateral donors, to civil society, the private sector and universities.
Supported by a team of over 300 mostly Lebanese professionals, our current programme includes more than 60 local and national projects that focus on improving areas critical to Lebanon's future.
