Intervention Sector(s): Labor & Livelihoods

The Association of Lebanese Industrialists (ALI), Established in 1942, is the main national association of manufacturing companies operating in Lebanon. It deals with both economic and social issues concerning business and advocates a policy of balanced industrial development for all Lebanese regions. The Association seeks to create and maintain an environment which is favorable to industrial investment, job creation, growth and development.

ALI represents Lebanese Industry and interprets the needs and recommendations of the industrial community in dealing with public institutions, including the Parliament, the Government, the Trade Unions and other organizations in Lebanon and abroad. ALI participates actively in policy-making consultations on a very broad range of issues, including economic and social policy, labour legislation and industrial relations, social security and health care, taxation, policies for small and medium-sized enterprises, education, and research and technology, and the environment.

2. Background Information

The ILO is implementing the project “Women in Management Initiative (WIMIN) -supporting women to reach management and leadership positions in firms and workers- and employers- organisations”. Through this intervention, which covers Lebanon ILO fosters the participation of Lebanese women in management and leadership positions in employers and workers organizations and in selected firms. It is based on the theory of change that if women had the opportunity to rise to senior positions, and firms and organisations had the information and support on promoting gender equality, it would help women, employers- and workers- organisations, and firms, reach 33 percent critical mass, at which organisational change towards gender equality is seen to be catalysed. For workers- and employers- organisations this means increasing the number of female members and developing their capacity to progress and reach.

In order to feed into the outcomes of the project, there is a strong need for ALI to take stock on the situation of women in enterprises and sectors covered by the association to be able to tailor an intervention that would support, and build women-s capacity to maintain and or progress into key decision making positions within the private sector.
