  • Gender and Ndcs: Country Progress and Key Findings
    Gender and NDCs: Country Progress and Key Findings 24-26 APRIL 2019 | NAIROBI, KENYA ABOUT UNDP UNDP’s work on climate change spans more than 140 countries and USD $3.7 billion in investments in climate change adaptation and mitigation measures since 2008. With the goal to foster ambitious progress towards resilient, zero-carbon development, UNDP has also supported the implementation of the Paris Agreement on Climate Change by working with countries on achieving their climate commitments or Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). THE UNDP NDC SUPPORT PROGRAMME The NDC Support Programme provides technical support for countries to pursue a “whole-of-society”, integrated approach that strengthens national systems, facilitates climate action and increases access to finance for transformative sustainable development. The programme helps countries address these financial barriers by deploying a structured approach for scaling up sectoral investments and putting in place a transparent, enabling investment environment. Beyond direct country support, UNDP facilitates exchanges and learning opportunities on NDC implementation at the global and regional level by capitalizing on our close collaboration with the UNFCCC and other strategic partners. GENDER INITIATIVE Coordinating and connecting the interlinked processes of climate change and gender equality, by using NDCs as a platform, offers an opportunity to promote inclusive and successful development outcomes. The NDC Support Programme is supporting the work in 17 countries to ensure that gender

  • The War of Famine: Everyday Life in Wartime Beirut and Mount Lebanon (1914-1918)
    The War of Famine: Everyday Life in Wartime Beirut and Mount Lebanon (1914-1918) by Melanie Tanielian A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Beshara Doumani Professor Saba Mahmood Professor Margaret L. Anderson Professor Keith D. Watenpaugh Fall 2012 The War of Famine: Everyday Life in Wartime Beirut and Mount Lebanon (1914-1918) © Copyright 2012, Melanie Tanielian All Rights Reserved Abstract The War of Famine: Everyday Life in Wartime Beirut and Mount Lebanon (1914-1918) By Melanie Tanielian History University of California, Berkeley Professor Beshara Doumani, Chair World War I, no doubt, was a pivotal event in the history of the Middle East, as it marked the transition from empires to nation states. Taking Beirut and Mount Lebanon as a case study, the dissertation focuses on the experience of Ottoman civilians on the homefront and exposes the paradoxes of the Great War, in its totalizing and transformative nature. Focusing on the causes and symptoms of what locals have coined the ‘war of famine’ as well as on international and local relief efforts, the dissertation demonstrates how wartime privations fragmented the citizenry, turning neighbor against neighbor and brother against brother, and at the same time enabled social and administrative changes that resulted in the consolidation and strengthening of bureaucratic hierarchies and patron-client relationships. This dissertation is a detailed analysis of socio-economic challenges that the war posed for Ottoman subjects, focusing primarily on the distorting effects of food shortages, disease, wartime requisitioning, confiscations and conscriptions on everyday life as well as on the efforts of the local municipality and civil society organizations to provision and care for civilians.

    Breaking the Cycle of Crises in Lebanon Grassroots Strategies of De-sectarianization Between 2015 and 2020 Sára Vértes 6854834 Utrecht University 30 July 2020 A Thesis submitted to the Board of Examiners in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Arts in Conflict Studies and Human Rights Breaking the Cycle of Crises in Lebanon | Sára Vértes Supervisor: Dr Chris van der Borgh Submitted: 30 July 2020 Program trajectory: Internship (15 ECTS) & Thesis (15 ECTS) Word count: 16188 Cover image: AFP (2020, February 5). Roula Abdo’s painted hands parting the wall blocking off the road up to parliament square in downtown Beirut [Photograph]. The National. i Breaking the Cycle of Crises in Lebanon | Sára Vértes ABSTRACT Inspired by the latest anti-establishment protests in Lebanon, this thesis investigates how and why a pattern of non-sectarian movements emerged in the country’s consociational context since 2015. The analysis zooms in on (i) the post-civil war evolution of Lebanon’s political economy and the grievances it exacerbated in citizens, and (ii) the strategies by which the new wave of movements re-negotiate their room for manoeuvre within the Lebanese political structure. In order to illustrate these grassroots strategies, the thesis describes and contrasts the discourse, as well as the concrete actions of two non-sectarian movements. First, a ‘civil society’ political coalition titled Kollouna Watani is introduced that challenged the established elites by competing in Lebanon’s 2018 general elections. Second, the mass protest movement starting in October 2019 is examined which demanded structural reforms in the country’s sectarian power-sharing order.

  • National Strategic Framework for Technical Vocational Education and Training in Lebanon
    NATIONAL STRATEGIC FRAMEWORK FOR TECHNICAL VOCATIONAL EDUCATION AND TRAINING IN LEBANON 2018-2022 International Labour Organization 1 PREFACE The Ministry of Education and Higher Education (MEHE) is pleased to present the National Strategic Framework for Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) 2018–2022. This framework is the culmination of year-long deliberations led by the Government of Lebanon, with the support of the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) and the International Labour Organization (ILO). These consultations involved a wide array of stakeholders, including the MEHE, the Ministry of Labour (MOL), the Ministry of Agriculture (MOA), the Ministry of Social Affairs (MOSA), the National Employment Office (NEO), the National Vocational Training Centre (NVTC), private sector representatives and non-governmental organizations (NGOs). A total of six working groups representing the key national TVET stakeholder groups established their own strategic goals and priorities for reforming the TVET sector (see Appendix II). The TVET Strategic Framework 2018–2022 presents the common roadmap reached through working group deliberations for the reform of the TVET system. The Strategic Framework confirms the Government of Lebanon’s renewed commitment to promote a TVET system that provides youth and workers with the competencies and skills required to access decent work and allows businesses to recruit the workforce they need for growth. This commitment is articulated in the Strategic Framework, which outlines three main strategic axes: (i) expanded access and service delivery; (ii) enhanced quality and relevance of TVET provision; and (iii) improved TVET governance and systems. These three axes are realized through eight building blocks. In line with the UN Sustainable Development Goals, the TVET Strategic Framework prioritizes equitable access to TVET for all, with a focus on leaving no one behind.

  • The Mummy of the Lebanese National Hero, Youssef Bey Karam (1823-1889): an Emblematic Paleopathological Case
    Medicina Historica 2020; Vol. 4, N. 3: e2020021 © Mattioli 1885 Case report: paleopathology The mummy of the Lebanese national hero, Youssef Bey Karam (1823-1889): an emblematic paleopathological case. Luigi Capasso1, Fadi Fenianos2, Ruggero D’Anastasio1 1Operative Unit of Anthropology, Department of Medicine and Aging Sciences, ‘G d’Annunzio’ University of Chieti–Pescara, Chieti, Italy; 2Saydet Zgharta Hospital, North Lebanon, Lebanon Abstract. Youssef Bey Karam was a Lebanese nationalist leader, of a Maronite Christian family, who led the national resistance against the occupation of the Ottoman Empire. He died in exile in Italy in 1889 and his naturally mummified body returned to Lebanon the following year. Here we show the results of the anthropo- logical and paleopathological analyses performed on the mummy during its restoration and preservation. The biological profile that emerged from anthropological investigations corresponds to the Karam’s biographical data. The tomographic analyses, in addition to detecting the persistence of the internal organs, highlighted some pathological conditions: multiple healed fractures, osteoarthritis of the lumbar vertebral column, and dental caries with periodontal disease. In particular, the computed tomography showed the thickening of the bronchial tree, and opacity of the pulmonary parenchyma at the level of the hilum of the right lung. These conditions are consistent with a diagnosis of bronchopneumonia, that is the same diagnosis, that was pro- posed by the pathologist on his death certificate, on 7 April, 1889. Key words: anthropology, paleopathology, bronchopneumonia, pandemic Introduction the natural mummy of Karam, which had been kept in the Cathedral of Saint Peter in Edhen, Zgharta Dis- Prince Youssef Bey Karam was the first theoreti- trict, North Lebanon (Fig.
