USIP's goal in Lebanon is to develop proposals, ideas and policy recommendations that will prevent conflict within Lebanon and across its borders. Towards that goal, USIP facilitates expert groups on Lebanon and Arab-Israeli relations and runs the Muslim World Initiative. These programs and additional work increase the policy community's knowledge about Lebanon and encourage communication and collaboration among experts in and outside of Lebanon.
