As part of an effort to enhance women’s representation in Lebanese municipal councils, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and UN Women, in collaboration with the organization “Fifty-Fifty” and with the support of the Government of Canada, launched the “Salma” Agreement (Together for Equality), which was signed in Beirut. This strategic initiative aims to significantly increase the representation of women in municipal councils across Lebanon ahead of the upcoming municipal and local (mukhtar) elections in 2025.
