Antecedentes

The Lebanese Working Group on Palestinian Refugees, which became later known as the Lebanese-Palestinian Dialogue Committee (LPDC), was created in November 2005 by the Council of Ministers, in response to the goal set by the Government of Lebanon (GoL) to improve the living conditions of Palestinian Refugees in Lebanon. This project seeks to strengthen the capacity of the LPDC to implement its strategic Plan (2015-2020) that enables the GoL to set up a comprehensive policy on the Palestinian Refugees issues, on improving their living conditions.

LPDC Project’s components include:

Output 1: Institutional Capacity of the LPDC Office for Policy Reforms Enhanced;

Output 2: Support to LPDC to Establish the National Observatory for Palestinian Affairs provided;

Output 3: Capacity of line ministries mandated with Palestine Refugees strengthened;

Output 4: Capacity of LPDC to act as the focal point for national and international partners, on issues regarding Palestinian Refugees in camps and surrounding communities strengthened;

Output 5: Capacity of LPDC to facilitate multiple forums and platforms of Dialogue and consensus building enhanced.

Under the activities of Output 4, the LPDC is willing to develop a strategic plan which identifies and builds on potential field touch points for LPDC with Palestinian Refugees youth and outlines developed capacity building and empowerment action plans for effective youth participation in urban and community development within Palestinian Refugees and surrounding communities. This is a first step aiming to develop a road map for interventions that will then be enacted at a later stage.

Therefore, the LPDC is requiring the support of a Youth Engagement Coordinator for Urban and Community Development Coordinator.
