UNESCO works to build peace through international cooperation in Education, the Sciences and Culture.

Since 1961, UNESCO has had a long-standing partnership with Lebanon and the Arab Region, serving 19 Member States.

In 2023, the Office expanded its mandate from the UNESCO Regional Bureau for Education and became the UNESCO Multisectoral Regional Office, covering Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Palestine and Syria, providing expertise in the thematic areas of Education, Culture, Communication and Information, Social and Human Sciences, and Natural Sciences.

UNESCO’s programmes contribute to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals defined in Agenda 2030, adopted by the UN General Assembly in 2015.
