The Lebanese Ministry of Social Affairs, the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), the Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia (ESCWA) and the Center for Studies on Aging in Lebanon (CSA) are pleased to present this “National Strategy for Older Persons” for the years 2020-2030, Lebanon’s first national strategy in this area. This work represents a milestone in advancing the issue of ageing. The strategy also provides the momentum needed to draw up a roadmap and develop a comprehensive multi-sector action plan for integrated policies and programmes that would map the necessary financial resources, especially in light of Lebanon’s stressful financial and economic conditions.
