  • 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.
