Project properties
- Partners: MPTF/UNDP
- Status: Completed
- This project is part of the Global Flagship Programme on Building Social Protection Floors for All
Description
The lack of a national SP system in Lebanon and significantly underdeveloped social assistance and social insurance programmes, is a major barrier to achieving the SDGs. This is especially critical at a time when the country embarks on major social and economic transformation, and 1 in 4 Lebanese live in poverty. The SDG Fund joint programme to develop inclusive SP for Lebanon aims at supporting the Government of Lebanon to develop a national SP system through the development of a national SP policy framework and transformation of the country’s two main, existing SP programmes. The programme aims to be evidence-based, introduce gender-responsiveness to the dialogue, promote access for people with disabilities, and create opportunities for participation and broader consultation.SDG
