In collaboration with UNFPA, NCLW proceeded to the drafting and updating of the National Strategy for Women in Lebanon.

This collaboration sought the opinions of experts from the civil society, public institutions and international organizations working in the field of women issues. This work had started in 2011 with the launching of the National Strategy for Women in Lebanon (2011-2021) and the National Action Plan (2013-2016) in 2013. This participatory work continued with the annual monitoring of the implementation of the National Action Plan (2013-2016) by relevant ministries and public administrations as well as civil society organizations (Universities, NGOs, Syndicates)  and International Organisations and UN agencies.

The monitoring process of the yearly implementation of the National action plan covered the years 2013,  2014, 2015 and 2016.
