Lebanon: Improving Living Conditions in Palestinian Gatherings Host Communities

Improving Living Conditions in Palestinian Gatherings Host Communities is a project of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) that falls under the UNDP Lebanon Stabilization and Recovery Program – Supporting Resilience in a time of Crisis. Active in the 42 Palestinian Gatherings across Lebanon since 2013, this project is designed to develop the resilience of these vulnerable host communities and mitigate social tensions, by upgrading WASH and other basic urban services (BUS), enhancing shelter conditions and raising awareness on healthy and environmental practices. Bringing together various Palestinian and Lebanese stakeholders, UNDP has been also leading efforts to inform and coordinate NGOs’ and agencies’ response in Palestinian Gatherings.
