LEBANurse

Lebanon’s Empowerment & Building of Assistant Nurses for Universal Resilience & Skilled Education

Description

Lebanon is currently experiencing one of the most severe financial and economic crises in modern history. One of the key challenges is the critical shortage of nurses in the country. According to the World Health Organization, Lebanon has a nurse-to-population ratio of just 1.9 nurses per 1,000 people, significantly lower than the international average of 9 per 1,000 people. This shortage profoundly impacts the quality of healthcare for the most vulnerable segments of society and requires urgent attention.
The LEBANurse project is a targeted initiative to tackle Lebanon’s healthcare crisis by bridging the nursing and
midwifery education gap through vocational training (VET). The project focuses on training women from underserved communities, particularly vulnerable populations, refugees, and migrants, as skilled nurse aides. This training equips them with essential nursing skills, thereby supporting Lebanon’s strained nursing workforce by delegating certain healthcare services to community-based trained individuals. In addition to addressing the scarcity of nursing personnel, the LEBANurse project also aims to create economic and social empowerment opportunities for these women, who often face financial and accessibility barriers to higher education.
By developing and implementing a VET program that prioritizes work-based learning and practical experience through placements in primary healthcare centers, community-based settings, and mobile healthcare units, the LEBANurse project aspires to produce job-ready assistant nurses and midwives who can seamlessly integrate into the healthcare system.

Objectives

  • Develop and implement a competency-based vocational nursing aide curriculum helping build the capacity of nursing VET providers in Lebanon
  • Improve access to vocational nursing education for women from vulnerable communities to increase the availability of skilled nursing aides
  • Strengthen practical and work-based learning in vocational nursing education through clinical placements and mobile health clinics
  • Establish a training hub for continuous professional development in vocational nursing education
  • Strengthen workforce integration and employment pathways for nursing aides
