To promote the alignment of UN-HABITAT normative and operational activities at country level, a UN-HABITAT Lebanon programme was developed. It aims at supporting governments and their development partners to achieve more sustainable urbanization. This country programme is aligned with three out of five key focus areas:

• Improved sustainable urbanization policies from local to global levels adopted;
• Inclusive urban planning, management and governance (UPMG) improved at national and local levels; 
• Expanded access to environmentally sound basic urban infrastructure services with a special focus on the un-served and under served populations.
