Launched during the Lebanon Works @ Work event, the Lebanon Works for All Hub brought together key changemakers to address one of Lebanon’s most persistent challenges: inclusive employment for persons with disabilities (PWD). Participants included H.E. Minister of Social Affairs Haneen El Sayed, along with representatives from ministries, the private sector, international agencies, and NGOs.

While Lebanon has legal frameworks in place, implementation gaps and a lack of private sector alignment continue to limit access for PWD in the labor market. The session emphasized the urgent need for:

• - Legislative reform and enforcement
• - Cross-sector collaboration
• - A coordinated national plan for sustainable, dignified employment

As a concrete step forward, participants committed to establishing a dedicated task force to guide inclusive hiring practices and contribute to a national roadmap, including clear KPIs to track impact and progress over the next two years.

This Hub sets the foundation for building an economy that recognizes ability, embraces diversity, and truly works for all.
