Antecedentes

The United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-Habitat) is the United Nations agency for human settlements. It is mandated by the UN General Assembly to promote socially and environmentally sustainable towns and cities with the goal of providing adequate shelter for all.

As such, UN-Habitat Lebanon has launched its neighbourhood profiling exercise, out of which primary data are collected in vulnerable neighbourhoods to help identify risks, challenges, and potential
