UNHCR’s Policy Development and Evaluation Service (PDES) is committed to the systematic examination and assessment of UNHCR policies, programmes, projects and practices.
This report is the result of 4 weeks’ field work from April 22 to May 17 carried out in the two districts of Zgharta and Minieh-Dennieh by SOLIDARITÉS INTERNATIONAL’s (SI) outreach workers.
The purpose of this manual is to inform different employers on people with disabilities and inclusion
in the workplace. It provides a basic principle on how to start accessing this untapped labor pool,
raise awareness about disability, provide tools for recruitment and ways of integration.
Since the unrest in Syria began in March 2011, the Bekaa Valley in Lebanon has hosted varying numbers of displaced Syrian families. Local actors such as municipalities and NGOs registered families for assistance received through regional and international donors.
28 refugee households were surveyed, which represented a total of 501 refugees, 48% male and 52% female, which is approximately 11% of the Syrian refugee population in North Bekaa.
Over 57,000 displaced Syrians are receiving protection and assistance in Lebanon through the efforts of the Government of Lebanon and UN and NGO partners.
Disability & Vulnerability Focal Point (DVFP) have been developed based on the observation that one of the greatest difficulties following a crisis is not only to identify and to access to vulnerable people including people with disabilities, but also to accompany them wit
The overall objective of the assessment was to identify emergency WASH needs and gaps of most vulnerable Syrian refugees and host families in five geographical areas, 4 collective centres and Bab al-Tebbaneh, Tripoli in North Lebanon.

Research and Policy Memo #10 | May 2011
Climate Change and Health Research in the Eastern Mediterranean Region (EMR)Rima R. Habib
Climate change is likely to aggravate the burden of disease in the Arab region currently suffering from political instability, natural disasters and humanitarian crises. The prevailing arid environment and the reliance on rain-fed food production exacerbate the situation. Therefore, governments and key stakeholders are encouraged to make further outlays to counteract new and increasing challenges to population health.
