“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 ��لتضامن والتعاطف والقيم الإنسانية المشتركة.

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.

👏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.
