How Lebanon's Municipalities Navigate Crisis with Communication

In this episode of Development Matters, we delve into the challenges faced by Lebanon's municipalities amidst ongoing political, economic, and security crises. With basic services like electricity, clean water, and waste management becoming luxuries, the bond between local governments and their communities is strained. Yet, local authorities retain a unique trust from their communities, a trust that has been waning since the financial crisis began in 2019. We explore the critical role of communication in maintaining and strengthening this trust. Join us as Roula El Bayeh (Secretary General of Akkar Governorate) , Jean Fakhry (Head of Union of Municipalities in Deir El Ahmar), and Toni Maalouf (Senior Communication Officer at UNDP) discuss the indispensable role of effective communication in bridging gaps between municipalities and the diverse communities they serve during these turbulent times.

Dealing with the Past | التعامل مع الماضي

قبل 48 عامًا ، اندلعت الحرب الأهلية اللبنانية ، مخلفة وراءها ندوبًا وصدمات وقصصًا لا تزال تؤثر على الحاضر. لذا أصبح التعامل مع الماضي ضرورة ملحة للمصالحة و بناء مجتمع سلمي. لكن ماذا يعني التعامل مع الماضي؟ في هذه الحلقة من Development matters نناقش أهمية التعامل مع الماضي ومبادرات بدعم من برنامج الأمم المتحدة الإنمائي تساهم بالتعامل مع إرث الحرب بهدف عدم تكرار العنف و من أجل مستقبل سلمي مستدام ودور تعليم التاريخ في تشكيل الذاكرة الجماعية والدروس التي يمكننا استخلاصها من المقاتلين السابقين الذين اختاروا مسار بناء السلام مع الناشطة التربوية نايلة حمادة من الهيئة اللبنانية للتاريخ، ورئيس جمعية محاربون من اجل السلام، زياد صعب. 48 years ago, the Lebanese civil war started, leaving behind scars, traumas, and countless stories that continue to reverberate through the present day. Dealing with the past has become a pressing imperative, as individuals and communities grapple with the weight of history and seek to forge a path towards healing and reconciliation. But what does dealing with the past really mean? In this episode of Development matters, we discuss the importance of dealing with the past for a sustainable peaceful future and shed light on initiatives supported by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) that contribute to it, the role of history education in shaping collective memory, and lessons we can learn from ex-fighters who have chosen the path of peace, with Nayla Khodr Hamden, Educational Activist from the Lebanese Association for History (LAH), and Ziad Saab, President of Fighters for Peace, as they share their unique perspectives.

Development Matters in Solid Waste Management

Going back to 2015, many of the people living in Lebanon recall the garbage piling up for months in the streets of Beirut and Mount Lebanon which has gained local and global media attention and was labeled the “waste crisis” ever since. The debate still stands true today, as scenes reminiscent of the 2015 trash crisis keeps on emerging every few months, reminding us all of the need to solve this recurring issue that is putting the health of millions of Lebanese at risk on a daily basis and incurring huge environmental and public health costs. So what really is the issue there, is it a lack of strategy or coordination? Find out what is hindering solutions and how can Lebanon prevent another waste crisis in this episode of Development Matters. بالعودة إلى عام 2015 ، يتذكر العديد من الأشخاص الذين يعيشون في لبنان مشهد النفايات المتراكمة لشهور طويلة في شوارع العاصمة بيروت وجبل لبنان و التي تصدرت عناوين الاخبار في وسائل الإعلام المحلية والعالمية وأطلق عليها آنذاك "أزمة النفايات" ومنذ ذلك الحين لا يزال الجدل قائما حتى اليوم، حيث تستمر المشاهد التي تذكرنا بأزمة النفايات في عام 2015 في الظهور كل بضعة أشهر، لينبهنا جميعًا بضرورة إيجاد حل لمشكلة تراكم النفايات المتكررة، و التي تعرض صحة ملايين اللبنانيين للخطر يوميا وتحملهم تكاليف بيئية وصحية عامة ضخمة. فما هي المشكلة الحقيقية ؟ هل هي الافتقار إلى الإستراتيجية أم الى التنسيق؟ اكتشف ما الذي يعيق الحلول وكيف يمكن للبنان تفادي حصول أزمة نفايات جديدة في هذه الحلقة من سلسلة حلقات Development Matters.
