Lebanon’s Ministry of Social Affairs launched the National Strategy for the Rights and Inclusion of Persons with Disabilities for 2026–2030, approved by the Council of Ministers on 26 February 2026. The strategy aims to move from recognizing rights to implementing them, and to make the state responsible for removing barriers to participation and access to services. Estimates suggest that persons with disabilities make up 10–15% of Lebanon’s population—more than half a million people—while unemployment among them stands at 80%. The strategy comprises 10 areas, including inclusive education, health, social protection, accessibility and participation. It also includes an annex on integrating disability issues into the emergency plan, as well as mechanisms for coordination and accountability and for incorporating these issues into ministries’ budgets.
