Lebanon is vulnerable to disasters/crises risks from multiple sources including natural hazards and human induced disasters. During 2009-2012, UNDP implemented a project Disaster Reduction and Management in Lebanon to strengthen national capacities. The Project had five outputs as below: • Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Unit established (policy and institution) • National DRR strategy and systems developed and implemented (risk assessment, strategy, plan) • National capacities at center and regional levels built (Training) • Public awareness on DRR raised (media, education ministry, general populous) • Gender integration into institutional framework and into regional and local plans
