Mission and objectives
Our Mission and Vision: As the United Nations lead agency on international development, UNDP works in 170 countries and territories to eradicate poverty and reduce inequality. We help countries to develop policies, leadership skills, partnering abilities, institutional capabilities, and to build resilience to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. Our work is concentrated in three focus areas; sustainable development, democratic governance and peace building, and climate and disaster resilience. UNDP’s mandate is to end poverty, build democratic governance, rule of law, and inclusive institutions. We advocate for change, and connect countries to knowledge, experience and resources to help people build a better life. Our Development Objectives: UNDP’s work, adapted to a range of country contexts, is framed through three broad development settings. 1- Eradication of poverty in all its forms and dimensions 2- Accelerating structural transformations for sustainable development 3- Building resilience to crisis and shocks Our Strategic Solution UNDP is implementing six cross-cutting approaches to development, known as Signature Solutions. A robust, integrated way to put our best work – or ‘signature' skillset – into achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. 1. Keeping people out of poverty 2. Governance for peaceful, just, and inclusive societies 3. Crisis prevention and increased resilience 4. Environment: nature-based solutions for development 5. Clean, affordable energy 6. Women’s empowerment and gender equality
Context
The “Lebanon Sustainable Low-Emission Transport Systems” project, funded by the Global Environment Facility (GEF) and implemented by UNDP CO Lebanon, will introduce demonstrations in the form of improved walking and cycling accessibility and improved public transport services using battery electric buses operating on the northern corridor. The project includes the construction of a solar system with fast charging infrastructure for the e-buses, at a bus depot in Jbeil City, that is capable of providing the E-buses with enough power to ensure efficient operation in the absence of a national electricity grid. The buses will operate between Jbeil and Beirut, two coastal cities around 40 km apart. To understand public transport preferences in the country, the project team is conducting a survey aiming to design an inclusive and accessible public transportation system. This survey seeks to capture the diverse needs of the community, including women, youth, elderly, persons with disabilities, and migrants.
