Lebanon

Despite significant advances in human development, Lebanon still faces disparities. Almost all women receive care during pregnancy and delivery, and maternal mortality has declined, but care after birth is more limited. Active in the country since 1993, UNFPA helps close gaps in policies, data and regulations, and supports coordination for emergency preparedness, in addition to supporting efforts to strengthen the quality of reproductive health care. UNFPA is also introducing tools to integrate gender equality considerations into public planning and spending choices.
