In addition, GIZ has programmes that focus on social participation of women and youth, psychosocial support, and conflict transformation among Lebanese, Syrian, and Palestinian communities. Currently, GIZ Lebanon has around 90 employees, more than half of which are of Lebanese nationality.

It is a prerequisite for and driver of sustainable development and a viable future of our society, both at national and international levels.
