WPHF Phase III Supported Projects in Lebanon

Since 2020, the United Nations Women’s Peace & Humanitarian Fund (WPHF) has supported a total of 24 projects led by 31 organizations in Lebanon. WPHF is currently supporting 12 projects in Lebanon in 2023/24 under the third round of funding, focused on improving women’s participation in peacebuilding and enhancing the protection, security and mental health of women and girls. These initiatives target women and girls experiencing multiple and intersecting forms of discrimination – including marginalization and exclusion due to poverty, ethnicity, disability, age, geography, migratory status, HIV status, among others – in line with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development’s key principle of leaving no one behind. In Addition, institutional funding is also allowing civil society organizations working on gender-specific issues in peacebuilding and humanitarian contexts to sustain itself and maximize its impact.
