Disability Hub

Overview

The Disability Research and Advocacy Hub is an initiative established by the Centre for Lebanese Studies (CLS) at the Lebanese American University. The idea was formulated in September 2018 as a result of a series of public consultations and workshops were conducted with key stakeholders in Lebanon in partnership with Oxford Brookes University. These consultations emphasized the need to conduct a mapping of existing research around disability issues in the Arab region and identifying relevant research and advocacy gaps. Ultimately, this will contribute to informing policies and advocacy interventions related to disability in the Arab World through coordinated and well-targeted research and advocacy programmes, for the well-being of persons with disabilities.

The mission of the Disability Hub is to create a network of expertise in the field of Disability in the Arab World. This network includes academics, representatives from NGOs, activists, specialists, policy makers and practitioners as well as every person interested in the field of Disability.
