WELCOME TO THE CEP

The CEP came into being in June 2006, as an informal body, to provide objective and reliable information to relevant stakeholders in the debate on Palestinian refugee employment. Initially established as the ‘Follow-up Committee for Employment of Palestinian Refugees in Lebanon’ (FCEP), the Committee aimed to pursue a number of recommendations from a workshop on employability of Palestinians in Lebanon.

Having firmly established itself as an authoritative and credible feature in the debate on refugee employment, Committee Members unanimously agreed in July 2009 to omit henceforth ‘Follow-up’ from its name. This represents a consistent commitment to strengthen advocacy activities, while continuing as an independent body to provide to key stakeholders authoritative knowledge instruments (including research papers) in a variety of formats.

Through research, information, debate and communications, the CEP seeks to establish that the employment of Palestinian refugees and better working conditions is a win-win scenario for both the Palestinians and the Lebanese.

Committee members are stakeholders in the Palestinian Refugee Employment issue and are drawn from the Lebanese Government (Ministry of Labour and Ministry of Foreign Affairs), the PLO, Palestinian and Lebanese Civil Society, multilateral organisations (UNRWA and ILO), and the Business Community. Its Secretariat is located in the UNRWA Lebanon Field Office and funded by the Norwegian People's Aid, NPA.
