  • Short Paper ART GOLD#35B141
    ART GOLD LEBANON PROGRAMME PRESENTATION Over 80% of the Lebanese population currently lives in urbanized areas of the country, out of its estimated population of four million people. Lebanon enjoys a diverse and multi cultural society; but is a country characterized by marginalization of its peripheral areas, mainly Akkar in the North, Bekaa in the East, and South Lebanon. The South Lebanon marginalization was often exacerbated by the long-lasting occupations and wars. UNDP ART GOLD Lebanon is being implemented in the four neediest areas where the scores of poverty rates mount high, the socio-economic problems are enormous, and the convergence between deprivation and the effects of the July 2006 war took place. The ART GOLD Lebanon main aim however is to support the Lebanese national government and local communities in achieving the UN Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). UNDP ARTGOLD Lebanon utilizes the Local Development methodology, which relies upon the territorial networks and partnerships, which are extremely poor in the Lebanese target areas. To this end, the first steps of the programme aimed at building and strengthening the Relational and Social Capitals of the target territories. Establishing 297 Municipal, 4 Regional Working Groups (RWGs) and 22 Regional Thematic Working Groups. At the same time, regional planning exercises started in the selected sectors. The RWG requested trainings on participatory Strategic Planning, and UNDP ARTGOLD Lebanon will provide it within the forthcoming months. Governance, Local Economic Development, Social Welfare, Health, Environment, Gender Equity and Education are the UNDP ART GOLD main fields of interventions at local and national levels. To support the Regional Working Groups efforts, UNDP ARTGOLD Lebanon facilitated the set-up of a number of decentralized cooperation partnerships between Lebanese and European communities.

  • Corporate Social Responsibility
    corporate social responsibility ONRECYCLED 100% PAPER. annual ED T AS PRIN report W T 2011 THIS BOOKLE 2 3 CSR is adopting a balanced approach to economic, environmental and social issues nowadays, in such a way as to be beneficial to citizens, communities and society as a whole, going beyond simple observation of the law and voluntarily making the results of such activities public to maintain accountability. With its ever avant-garde spirit, Bank Audi was the first Lebanese institution to set up a separate CSR unit as of April 2010. The establishment of this unit falls within Bank Audi’s permanent commitment to social, environmental and human well-being, which represents an integral part of the Bank’s core strategy and objectives revolving around Transparency, Human Capital, Heritage, Quality, Civic Role and Innovation. For a bank like Bank Audi, with a significant economic dimension mirrored by a ratio of domestic assets to GDP exceeding 50%, and being the largest local bank in terms of financing the economy, the largest private contributor to GDP formation, the largest tax payer and the largest employer in the Lebanese private sector, commitment to the civic society and to the environment clearly imposes itself. The feedback from various achievements has proven Bank Audi’s initiative to be a necessity and a success: primary beneficiaries and various stakeholders recognise it and value the Bank for its perception and adoption of Corporate Responsibility. Over and above, CSR campaigns promoted by the Bank have echoed with an outright positive response from customers and shareholders. Always aiming at “Growing Beyond Our Potential” as a method of life entrenched in the way we work and live and in reflection of our Management’s attitude towards integrity and high ethical values, Bank Audi plays a major role, beyond banking, in developing communities through a large deal of active participation, partnerships and community support programs.
