  • Greater Beirut Water Supply Project Additional Finance Addendum to the Environmental and Social Impact Assessment
    Greater Beirut Water Supply Project Additional Finance Addendum to the Environmental and Social Impact Assessment I. Introduction Public Disclosure Authorized The Greater Beirut Water Supply Project (GBWSP; Project ID: P103063) was approved on December 16, 2010 and was effective on December 4, 2012. The current closing date is June 30, 2019. There are two implementation agencies – Beirut Mount Lebanon Water Establishment (BMLWE) and Council for Development and Reconstruction (CDR). The total project amount is US$370 million, of which the IBRD credit amount is US$200 million and the co-financing from BMLWE and the Government of Lebanon is US$ 140 million and US$ 30 million, respectively. 51.19 percent of the IBRD credit is already disbursed. Project Description GBWSP’s Project Development Objective (PDO) is to ‘increase the provision of potable water to the residents in the project area within the Greater Beirut region, including those in the low- Public Disclosure Authorized income neighborhoods of Southern Beirut, and to strengthen the capacity of the BMLWE in utility operations”.

  • Preliminary Assessment Waste Management
    Executive Summary 1 The purpose of this report is to make a preliminary assessment of green jobs potentials in the waste management sector in Lebanon, including solid waste management, hazardous waste management and wastewater treatment. This report provides an overview of waste management in Lebanon, considers potentials for greening the sector, and estimates current and future green jobs in waste management. The current state of the waste management sector in Lebanon is far from ideal. Collection activities are fairly advanced when it comes to municipal solid waste, but insufficient for wastewater, and totally lacking for hazardous waste. Currently only two-thirds of the total generated solid waste undergoes some form of treatment, while the remainder is discarded in open dumpsites or directly into nature. Moreover, wastewater treatment is insufficient and Lebanon currently lacks any effective strategy or system for dealing with most hazardous waste. Incrementally, the sector is nonetheless changing. In recent years green activities such as sorting, composting and recycling have become more common, advanced medical waste treatment is being developed, and several international organisations, NGOs and private enterprises have launched initiatives to green the sector and reduce its environmental impact. Also large-scale governmental initiatives to close down and rehabilitate dumpsites and construct new waste management facilities and wastewater treatment plants are currently being planned or implemented, which will have a considerable impact in greening the waste management sector in Lebanon. In this report, green jobs in waste management are defined as jobs providing decent work that seek to decrease waste loads and the use of virgin resources through reuse, recycling and recovery, and reduce the environmental impact of the waste sector by containing or treating substances that are harmful to the natural environment and public health.
