The World Food Programme (WFP) has taken important steps to progress disability inclusion across its programming and operations. This commitment is reflected in WFP's targeted initiatives aimed at breaking down barriers to food access, ensuring that food assistance programmes are designed to be inclusive, and advocating for policies that support the needs of persons with disabilities. In Lebanon, where 10-15 percent of the population has disabilities, the country faces significant challenges, including a lack of accessible infrastructure, limited access to specialized services, and widespread societal stigma. These issues are compounded by ongoing economic and political instability, making it even more difficult for persons with disabilities to secure their rights and live with dignity. To address these challenges and enhance inclusion within WFP Lebanon, an action plan was developed building on the findings of a 2023 disability inclusion study.
