The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) assists Lebanon in working towards a better society that is free of violence, hatred and stereotypes.

The UNDP “Peace Building in Lebanon” project has been working since 2007 on enhancing mutual understanding and social cohesion. In addition, and since 2013, the project has been working on addressing the impact of the Syrian crisis on social stability in Lebanon by supporting different groups, from local leaders to educators, youth, media professionals, journalists and civil society activists, in developing both medium and long-term strategies for peace building, crisis management and conflict prevention.
