  • Regional Project/Programme Proposal
    REGIONAL PROJECT/PROGRAMME PROPOSAL PART I: PROJECT/PROGRAMME INFORMATION Title of Project/Programme: Increasing the resilience of both displaced persons and host communities to climate change-related water challenges Countries: Jordan, Lebanon Thematic Focal Area: Transboundary water management and food security Type of Implementing Entity: Multilateral Implementing Entity: United Nations Human Settlements Programme Executing Entities: Lebanon: UNICEF; BWE; LARI; RTO; UN-ESCWA Jordan: UNICEF; JOHUD, HFDJB; MoWI/YWC; PRI; Irbid & Mafraq municipal governments Amount of Financing Requested: USD 13,973,509 Project Background and Context Introduction to the problems and needs There is little exploration of how urban systems respond to the impacts of climate change combined with a rapid influx of new and often long-term residents. Considering the scale and nature of impacts of climate change and the Syrian crisis in the Mashreq region, an adequate response approach is needed, including concrete adaptation response measures and planning approaches that work in such context.1 The Mashreq region is part of the most water scarce region in the world and both urban and rural areas face water challenges. However, some urban areas, especially in Lebanon and Jordan, experience extreme pressure on water availability, both in quantity and quality, exacerbated by climate change, the unprecedented influx of Displaced Persons (DPs), especially from Syria2 and groundwater over extraction and pollution challenges. The overall aim of this project is to better respond to climate change impacts and vulnerabilities in the context of the Syrian crisis in Jordan and Lebanon. This is done by demonstrating what concrete adaptation measures (see comp 3) respond to the needs of both DPs and host communities, and especially women and youth, while avoiding any tension over resources and employment opportunities.

  • Message from the President CDR OCTOBER 2015
    2 Message from the President CDR OCTOBER 2015 MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT In 2014, the Lebanese Government and the Lebanese public institutions combined their efforts to improve the level of public services and to with- stand the repercussions of the Syrian crisis which placed huge strains on the economic and social activity and increasingly overburdened the in- frastructure and public services. The Lebanese Government called upon the international community to scale up its support to help the Lebanese public entities in assuming their responsibilities which greatly outweighed humanitarian and rescue interventions and entailed significant develop- ment challenges. The Council for Development and Reconstruction (CDR) and the Ministry of Social Affairs endeavored to seek funding to finance development pro- grams and projects, as well as to integrate sectorial programs into plans and strategies aimed at addressing the negative impacts of the Syrian Cri- sis on Lebanon. On the other hand, the CDR continued to implement the previously sched- uled programs and to prepare for future projects. In 2014, new contracts were awarded across all sectors with emphasis on the water and wastewa- ter sectors. Indeed, many contracts were awarded to outsource the repair, construction and installation of water and waste water systems across dif- ferent Lebanese regions, noticeably a US $200 million contract funded by the World Bank to supply areas of Greater Beirut with drinking water from the Awali River. In a parallel course, preparations have been underway to launch the project on the construction of the Bisri Dam, considered as a second phase of the project aimed at increasing water supply to Greater Beirut.
