FAO Priorities in Lebanon
Lebanon Country Programming Framework (CPF) for the period 2023-2026 is FAO’s planning and programming strategic document to respond to the challenges faced by the agrifood system of Lebanon. The CPF aligns with the strategies outlined in Lebanon's key policy documents and sector-specific plans, namely the National Agriculture Strategy (NAS) 2020-2025, the National Water Strategy 2020-2035, the Lebanon National Forestry Programme (2015 – 2025) and the Lebanon Crisis Response Plan (LCRP) 2022-2023. The CPF is also aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework (UNSDCF) 2022-2025 as well as the FAO Strategic Framework for 2022-2031.
