The Kingdom of Netherlands has published an overview of its support to Lebanon in a report titled: Partners for Peace, Justice and Development. It contains an overview of the sectors that our bilateral support is channeled to- including demining, ruile of law, human rights, security sector support, and refugee humanitarian contributions.

This report provides an analysis of the history and current situation of the conflict context, actors and dynamics in Beirut, Lebanon. The report seeks to shed light on the main actors, topics of contestation, conflict and mobilisation in its historical becoming as well as current expressions. The report includes a special focus on the social question, subsequent political and social mobilisation, gender issues, the securitisation of the city, as well as the interactions between the Lebanese host community and Syrian refugees and their unfolding within the last four years (since 2011).

This study was based on a comprehensive assessment of the vocational needs as well as the labor absorption capacity mainly with business owners in the area of intervention and individual workers and vocational trainings candidates following different assessment and data collection methodologies such as key informant interviews, focus groups, and individual assessments

This paper is inspired by examples of domestic workers organizing themselves in different parts of the world through social and solidarity economy enterprises and organizations which have become more evident since the advent of the ILO Domestic Workers Convention 2011, (No.189

Talk of the peace pipeline and of linkages with Iran returned to the agenda after 2004. As US power enters a period of decline as a result...
