Background

Since 2006, UNDP and through its Peace Building in Lebanon project, has been working on addressing the underlying causes of conflict in Lebanon and sought to create “safe spaces” for local identity groups to discuss their concerns openly. Since 2013, the project has been acting as a reference point for addressing the new challenges to civil peace in Lebanon caused by the high influx of Syrian refugees, being positioned as key actor in the Lebanon Response to the Impact of the Syrian crisis on social stability. The project has used its already existing strong networks with a wide range of stakeholders in this regard and built excellent new ones with the Syrian counterparts. The project helped different actors enhance mutual understanding of the different “Other”, develop relevant strategies to address tensions and transform conflicts in their own communities and spaces. Social cohesion was thus enhanced at the local, community and national levels, between Lebanese, and between Lebanese and Syrians through the work of civil society actors, youth, educators, media, NGOs and religious leaders as well as municipal council members and mukhtars. Work on community dialogues, collective memory, peace education, conflict sensitive reporting, creation of safe media spaces, developing local peace mechanisms, working with ex-fighters, was implemented across Lebanon. Partnerships with key national counterparts were also built mainly with the Ministry of Education and Higher Education, the Ministry of Interior and Municipalities, the Ministry of Information and the Ministry of Social Affairs. The services of a M&E and Reporting Consultant are required to monitor and implement the M&E activities of the Peace Building in Lebanon Project activities as well as handle the reporting and data collection on project’s activities.
