Background

 
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion are core principles at UNDP:  we value diversity as an expression of the multiplicity of nations and cultures where we operate, we foster inclusion as a way of ensuring all personnel are empowered to contribute to our mission, and we ensure equity and fairness in all our actions. Taking a ‘leave no one behind’ approach to our diversity efforts means increasing representation of underserved populations. People who identify as belonging to marginalized or excluded populations are strongly encouraged to apply. Learn more about working at UNDP including our values and inspiring stories.

The impact of the Syria crisis on Lebanon is unprecedented in the history of complex, refugee-driven emergencies. The crisis is not only challenging the country’s existing social and economic infrastructure and employment, it also brings to Lebanon a new set of disparities, cleavages and tensions that threaten to undermine Lebanon’s delicate social and political stability. Due to the crisis, Lebanon is witnessing a sharply rising influx of Syrian refugees through the Northern and Eastern borders. 

Within this setting, The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) has taken on a number of roles to help ensure that ensure that the response to the refugee influx, while focusing on the immediate lifesaving needs of the refugee population, also contributes to longer-term objectives, more resilient host communities and supporting durable solutions. In that regard, UNDP plays three equally important and reinforcing roles; 1) Support to vulnerable host communities integrated components for stabilization, and livelihoods; 2) Inter-agency coordination through UNDP’s co-lead of the Lebanon Crisis Response Plan and 3) Sector Coordination through UNDP’s lead of the Livelihoods, Social Stability and Energy Sector.
