<br/><br/> The National Social Development Strategy of Lebanon (NSDS) is anchored in the Paris III conference of January 2007, following the July war of 2006, which linked the support of the donor community to the obligations of the Lebanese Government for the implementation of a set of macro-economic, fiscal, social and institutional reforms; thus acknowledging the need for a clear cross-sectoral social strategy for Lebanon. The NSDS is also based on the Social Pact, facilitated by the Ministry of Social Affairs in 2010.It calls for a common vision, which aims to establish a citizenship-based Civil State. As stated in the Pact, Lebanon commits to the principles of equality in rights and obligations and to the improvement of the socio-economic situation, which ensures the rights of its citizens through a comprehensive social approach, endorsed by all the Lebanese, to confirm social security on the basis of justice and equal opportunities. This strategy represents the first attempt by the Lebanese Government to develop a comprehensive National Social Development Strategy, which views social issues not as a secondary parameter, but as a comprehensive national issue affecting the Lebanese population at large. The formulation of the NSDS consisted of three major phases: 1) laying the foundations, 2) consultations and consensus building, and 3) elaboration of the final strategy.
