SENSITIVE BUT UNCLASSIFIED ABSTRACT Implemented between September 2012 and January 2019, the USAID-funded Lebanon Industry Value Chain Development (LIVCD) project sought to develop inclusive and competitive value chains in rural areas of the country to help increase the income of the population there, including micro, small, and medium enterprises. The evaluation examines the project’s relevance, efficiency and cost-effectiveness, effectiveness, sustainability, and additionality. It provides conclusions and recommendations to inform future activities and follow-on actions. The methods employed included a document review, 64 key- informant interviews, 28 focus group discussions (with 221 individuals), and direct observations. LIVCD’s performance varied according to the targeted value chain. Interventions with avocado and olive farmers were the most cost-effective, while those with apple and cherry farmers were the least cost- effective. Significant contextual challenges hindered LIVCD’s performance. However, the evaluation found evidence of improved incomes and competitiveness for avocado, olive, and grape farmers in addition to processed-food companies. There was limited or no income improvement for LIVCD-supported apple and cherry farmers. The total value of loans raised was considerable. However, access to finance improved for 102 beneficiaries only and was rather the result of investments leveraged by grants and technical assistance than that of activities aimed at promoting access to finance. Additionality was evident when new technologies or techniques were introduced. The project design included aspects related to ensuring sustainability. However, without further improvements in the quality of the produce, the interventions’ sustainability is at risk, especially in the apple value chain. ii | LIVCD FINAL EVALUATION REPORT USAID/LEBANON NOVEMBER 2018 SENSITIVE BUT UNCLASSIFIED Table of Contents ABSTRACT .................................................................................................................................... i ACRONYMS .................................................................................................................................. v EXECUTIVE SUMMARY.............................................................................................................. 1 I.

Gelvin, Chair This dissertation broadens the inquiry into the history of state formation, economic development, and popular mobilization in Lebanon during the early independence period. The project challenges narratives of Lebanese history and politics that are rooted in exceptionalist and deterministic assumptions. It does so through an exploration of the macro-level transformations of state institutions, the discourses and practices that underpinned such shifts, and the particular series of struggles around Sharikat Kahruba Lubnan that eventual led to the nationalization of the company. The dissertation highlights the ways in which state institutions during the first decade of independence featured a dramatic expansion in both their scope and reach vis-à-vis Lebanese citizens. Such shifts were very much shaped by the contexts of decolonization, the imperatives of regime consolidation, and the norms animating the post-World War II global and regional orders.

  • Request for an Inspection on the Impacts of the Bisri Dam Project in Lebanon
    June 24th, 2019 To: Executive Secretary, the Inspection Panel 1818 H Street NW, MSN 10 - 1007, Washington, DC 20433, USA REQUEST FOR AN INSPECTION ON THE IMPACTS OF THE BISRI DAM PROJECT IN LEBANON We, the Lebanon Eco Movement (LEM), are a network of 60 environmental NGOs advocating for sustainable development and the protection of the environment in Lebanon. The movement co- founded the Save the Bisri Valley Campaign in collaboration with the affected communities and a group of experts. LEM is also a member in the Arab Watch Coalition. In this request, we represent a group of residents and landowners whose addresses and signatures are enclosed below. We are also attaching a copy of a new petition that gathered more than 30,000 signatures (Annex Z.b). Our network submitted an earlier request for inspection on June 6th, 2018, and the Panel did not recommend investigation. While we acknowledge the Panel’s previous efforts to address our concerns, we believe that the first complaint was not satisfactorily answered. The Recommendation Report given by the Panel focused more on ensuring a checklist of studies is filled rather than evaluating the validity of the studies and, most importantly, the grave social, environmental and economic harms the project poses to Lebanon. Consequently, the Panel accepted inaccurate information and factual discrepancies provided by the Bank Management. Additionally, given the emergence of new evidence and circumstances, we are submitting a new request for inspection. Our concerns have been already conveyed to the relevant authorities and to the World Bank Management in Beirut. However, the concerns were either disregarded, or addressed with neglect and delay.

  • Ground Water in the Astern Mediterranean and Western Asia
    VST/ESA/112 Department of Technical Co-operation for Development Natural Resources / Water Series No. 9 GROUND WATER IN THE ASTERN MEDITERRANEAN AND WESTERN ASIA zrx 7 X -A !;•;* sJLo a/o. £ f?~ X^ II ' 4 'I HH vm UNITED NATIONS New York, 1982 LEBANON Area: 10,400 km2 Population: 2,961,000 (United Nations estimate, 1976) General Lebanon is a mountainous country dominated by two parallel north-south mountain ranges: the coastal Lebanon range and the inland Anti-Lebanon range. The narrow coastal strip which borders the Mediterranean broadens in places producing the Akkar plain in the north and smaller alluvial areas in the Tripoli and Beirut localities. The inland elevated central Bekaa plain, lying between 650 and 1,000 m, is the source of the country's two major rivers, the Orontes and the Litani. Elevations up to 3,000 m along the Lebanon range and 2,300 m along the Anti-Lebanon range have a pronounced effect on the country's climate. Lebanon's topographical configuration, with its orographical and geological structure, divides the country, into two major areas: (a) The Mediterranean watershed (5,500 km2) where numerous short costal rivers descend directly from spring sources on the western slopes of the Lebanon into the sea; '(b) An interior watershed (4,700 km2), where the Orontes and Litani rivers eventually discharge into the sea. The climate varies markedly across the country, owing to its unique physiography. The coastal mountain barrier intercepts both rain and humidity from the west; and the climate, vegetation and water resources graduate from a Mediterranean coastal environment to an inland Mesopotamian desert climate.

  • Lebanon Roads and Employment Project Frequently Asked Questions
    Lebanon Roads and Employment Project Frequently Asked Questions 1. What is the Roads and Employment Project (REP)? The Lebanon Roads and Employment Project (REP) is a US$200 million project that aims to improve transport connectivity along select paved road sections and create short-term jobs for the Lebanese and Syrians. The REP was approved by the World Bank (WB) Board of Executive Directors in February 2017 and ratified by the Lebanese Parliament in October 2018. The Project is co-financed by a US$45.4 million grant contribution from the Global Concessional Financing Facility (GCFF) which provides concessional financing to middle income countries hosting large numbers of refugees at rates usually reserved for the poorest countries. The project is implemented by the Council for Development and Reconstruction (CDR) in coordination with the Ministry of Public Works and Transport (MPWT), noting that all the roads under the REP are under the jurisdiction of the MPWT. In response to the devastating impact of the economic and financial crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic on the agriculture sector and food security, the project was restructured in March 2021: a third objective was added and a US$10 million reallocation approved to provide direct support to farmers engaged in crop and livestock production (Please refer to questions # 18 to 26) 2. What are the Components of the Roads and Employment Project? The REP originally had three components. Following its restructuring in March 2021, a fourth component was added to address the impact of the
