From launching Lebanon’s first intercity e-bus service @mopwleb@theGEF, to strengthening food security and supporting local agriculture @MoaLebanon; from assessing conflict-related building damage @CNRSL, to helping Lebanese exporters access the Saudi market @MoETLeb; from promoting responsible media during times of crisis @MinistryInfoLB, to connecting women leaders and entrepreneurs @CanadaLebanon, strengthening maritime emergency response @EUinLebanon, and training shelter coordinators on conflict-sensitive response.
Stay updated on our latest initiatives and impact across #Lebanon.
“Together, We Stay Strong” is more than a slogan—it’s a daily practice put into action.
Despite difficult conditions, ongoing tension, and uncertainty caused by the conflict, people across Lebanon continue to show meaningful acts of solidarity and unity—proving that #Lebanon truly recovers through its people.
The #TogetherWeStayStrong campaign is launched by UNDP, in partnership with the Ministry of Information and @DawaerNGO, to promote solidarity, empathy and shared humanity.

🚨 +150 youth, local reporters, and actors in #Lebanon are challenging #FakeNews amid the conflict — pushing back against fear and tension.
Through fact-checking sessions, they’re learning to verify content, challenge misinformation, and help their communities stay informed - keeping calm amid the noise.
Inform, don’t inflame. Share responsibly.
These sessions are co-funded by @EUinLebanon and UN Peacebuilding Fund and implemented in partnership with @UNICEFLebanon, @IOMLebanon, @NahnooLeb & @PPMLebanon.
من الشوف ودير الأحمر إلى المجيدل وزغرتا، شهدت المناطق اللبنانية نشاطات كثيرة لدعم النازحين والنازحات، وخلق مساحات آمنة للتلاقي وسط النزوح وظروف الحرب، في مشاهد تضامن حيّة تؤكد أن #لبنان يتعافى بناسه.
ونُفِّذت هذه الأنشطة بتمويل من الاتحاد الأوروبي وبالشراكة مع منظمة نحن وحركة السلام الدائم، وفي إطار حملة #سوا_منضل_بخير التي أطلقها برنامج الأمم المتحدة الإنمائي بالتعاون مع وزارة الإعلام ومنظمة دوائر، لتعزيز التضامن والتعاطف والقيم الإنسانية المشتركة.

في اليوم الدولي لضحايا الاختفاء القسري، نجدد التزامنا بدعم معرفة مصير المفقودين والمخفيين قسراً، في إطار جهودنا الرامية إلى تعزيز الاستقرار والتماسك الاجتماعي في #لبنان.
Lebanon’s Missing Should Not be Forgotten.
Law 105, passed in 2018, seeks to uncover the fate of the missing and forcibly disappeared. It established a national commission to do that.
Together with @unwomenlebanon & the Committee of the Families of the Disappeared in #Lebanon, we are advocating for the full implementation of the law and full support to the national commission’s mission to provide families with answers they deserve.
This initiative is supported by the @CanadaLebanon and in partnership with ACT for the disappeared.
50 youth from across #Lebanon are now trained to verify #FakeNews and promote ethical and responsible journalism.
With funding from the German Government through KfW Development Bank. Implemented in partnership with @DawaerNGO.

👏Started as a trainee in 2021… now, he is speaking at the #StockholmForum on Peace and Development: Jamil Saleh, a member of @UNDP's youth peacebuilding network.
From learning and showing up to spreading knowledge on #FactChecking, countering hate speech, and tackling #misinformation, he’s making an impact that reaches far and wide.
We believed in his potential, just as we believe in the power of youth.
💪We believe in the power of #youth.
Today, we’re sharing the story of Jamil Saleh — a powerful example of what youth can do. Where did his journey begin?
