The Central Administration of Statistics (CAS), with the technical support of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), developed twenty-six statistical reports, in English and Arabic, covering each of the twenty-six administrative districts of Lebanon. For the first time in Lebanon, these reports provide district-level statistics covering a wide array of themes including demographic figures and profile, housing conditions, educational attainment and status, Income, health coverage, labour force, and employment.
Official statistics presented in the reports are drawn from the findings of the national Labour Force and Households Living Conditions Survey (LFHLCS) that was carried out by CAS between 2018 and 2019 with funding from the Delegation of the European Union to Lebanon and the technical cooperation of the Regional Office for Arab States of the International Labour Organization (ILO).
CAS and the UNDP will be launching the 26 district-based statistical reports during a press conference on 29 June at 10:00 am, with a view to promoting evidence-based development policies and strategies at the district level.
