Description:
Strengthening Gender Mainstreaming in Social Stability Activities in Lebanon

1. Background

International Alert, with the support of UNDP, is currently implementing the project titled “Strengthening Gender Mainstreaming in Social Stability Activities in Lebanon.” This project addresses the gap in gender integration within the Social Stability Sector (SoST) under the Lebanon Response Plan (LRP). It aligns with UNDP’s strategic priority to embed gender considerations into social stability activities and aims to enhance the capacity of LRP partners and civil society organizations (CSOs) to incorporate gender perspectives into their strategies, projects, and programs.

To date, the project has undertaken the following activities:

• Conducted a comprehensive mapping exercise, including a desk review, survey, key informant interviews (KIIs), and two focus group discussions (FGDs).
• Organized a workshop with conflict sensitivity partners to present the mapping results and develop a gender and conflict sensitivity strategy.
• Developed sectoral checklists and guidance.
• Consulted with women’s organizations.
• Created training curricula.

Moving forward, International Alert will continue the project by delivering training sessions to members of the social stability sector and their partners.
