This is the third edition of the Reproductive Health Sub-Working Group (RHSWG) newsletter.

In Lebanon, the RHSWG was established in 2013 under the Health Sector. The Ministry of Public Health (MOPH) leads the RHSWG where the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) serves as the co-lead. The RHSWG members include national and international non-governmental organizations (NGOs), academics, relevant ministries, and UN agencies who coordinate to standardize and improve all aspects of sexual and reproductive health (SRH) programming such as community awareness, service quality, accessibility, and coverage. The RHSWG develops and follows up on the implementation of a yearly action plan that contributes to the objectives laid out in the Lebanese Response Plan (LRP).

This issue focuses on health partners’ sexual and reproductive health response to the massive displacement in Lebanon amid intensified hostilities between September and November 2024.
