14 April 2021. Beirut, Lebanon - To promote evidence-based programming and coordination among state and non-state actors, UN-Habitat and UNICEF have jointly completed 28 profiles of disadvantaged neighbourhoods across Lebanon. The neighbourhoods were selected from a list of 498 most disadvantaged areas, identified and ranked nationally. This collaboration responds to the long-standing need for reliable, multi-sectoral spatial data required to inform sustainable development and humanitarian response by all actors.

Multiple shocks and challenges in Lebanon, ranging from the Syrian refugee crisis, to socioeconomic and financial crises, the COVID-19 pandemic, and recovery and reconstruction efforts in the wake of the Beirut Port blast, clearly demonstrate the need for data-led interventions that address the most pressing needs of residents and inform a holistic recovery effort. Additionally, such data supports local authorities and other state and non-state entities to mitigate vulnerabilities for all population groups living together, regardless of their gender, age and nationality, which in turn helps to promote social cohesion.
