In July 2020, the Productive Sectors Development Programme (PSDP) launched a partnership that aims to pool resources, expertise and capacities to support Lebanon’s productive sectors with a particular focus on empowering women and youth in disadvantaged areas. The PSDP, generously funded by the Government of Canada and implemented by six UN agencies (UNIDO, FAO, UNDP, ILO, UNWOMEN and UNICEF), has aimed for gender-responsive job creation and economic growth.
