The Lebanon Reforestation Initiative (LRI) is a project funded by the United States Agency for International development (USAID) and implemented ted by the Uni States Forest Service (USFS) that aims to plant several hundred thousand native trees throughout Lebanon during the life of the project and will establish a foundation to continue tree planting and provide technical reforestation assistance over the long term. To ensure an efficient reforestation, the quality and the origin of the plant used should be selected and controlled. All international mechanisms to identify the seed origin are based on trading regulations. This project aims at implementing one of the most important international schemes for seed identification and trading, the OECD system, adapting its regulations to the Lebanese context. The main objective of 'the OECD Forest Seed and Plant Scheme' is to encourage the production and use ds of see and other reproductive materials, processed and marketed in a manner that ensures their trueness. The fies scheme identi all forest reproductive materials (FRM) according to their origin, their s basic material (seed sources and selected stands) and region of provenance and states that these materials d must be use following the ecological similarity between the place of origin and implementation. Once all this information has been nal gathered, a natio network of seed collecting stands will be implemented t a the national level as same as the ogating labelling and homol system and the handling and management of these areas. 6 Establishment of a National Network of Forest Stands for Sustainable Native Seed Production in Lebanon. 2 Antecedents Lebanon is a country of great biogeographical and climatic variety, its biodiversity is extremely rich and presents a wide range of woodlands such as coastal pine forests or high mountain junipers (table 1), where different of levels vegetation have been identified (table 1). Since ancient times, Lebanese forests have been the suppliers of high quality timber to the Mediterranean people (Miksell, 1969). The oodcutting intensive w over several millennia, followed by the expansion of agro-­‐pastoral activities and subsequent urbanisation resulted in only relic forest patches and scrub vegetation remaining. The forest cover in Lebanon represents around 13% of its total surface. It is broadly divided into three main classes: Mixed Forests (15,610 ha), Broadleaves (78,887 ha) and ,879 Coniferous (44 ha)(MoA, 2005, figure 1). Cedar forests have received national, regional, and international attention due to their historic, symbolic, and biological value (Sattout 005) et al., 2 even if they only constitute 1.58 % of the total forest cover. Table f 1 shows a summary o the vegetation distribution in Lebanon indicating the different vegetation levels. Table 1 . Main vegetation distribution in Lebanon.

    ABSTRACT Title of dissertation: TELEVISION NEWS AND THE STATE IN LEBANON Jad P. Melki, Doctor of Philosophy, 2008 Dissertation directed by: Professor Susan D. Moeller College of Journalism This dissertation studies the relationship between television news and the state in Lebanon. It utilizes and reworks New Institutionalism theory by adding aspects of Mitchell’s state effect and other concepts devised from Carey and Foucault. The study starts with a macro-level analysis outlining the major cultural, economic and political factors that influenced the evolution of television news in that country. It then moves to a mezzo-level analysis of the institutional arrangements, routines and practices that dominated the news production process. Finally, it zooms in to a micro-level analysis of the final product of Lebanese broadcast news, focusing on the newscast, its rundown and scripts and the smaller elements that make up the television news story. The study concludes that the highly fragmented Lebanese society generated a similarly fragmented and deeply divided political/economic elite, which used its resources and access to the news media to solidify its status and, by doing so, recreated and confirmed the politico-sectarian divide in this country. In this vicious cycle, the institutionalized and instrumentalized television news played the role of mediator between the elites and their fragmented constituents, and simultaneously bolstered the political and economic power of the former while keeping the latter tightly held in their grip. The hard work and values of the individual journalist were systematically channeled through this powerful institutional mechanism and redirected to serve the top of the hierarchy.

  • Guidelines for Amendments to the List of Reserved and Prohibited Domain Names Under the LBDR (Published: 15 November 2017 - Updated: 14 December 2018)
    Guidelines for amendments to the list of Reserved and prohibited domain names under the LBDR (Published: 15 November 2017 - Updated: 14 December 2018) This memorandum specifies the guidelines for amendments to Appendix-A. Adding new names Whether new names should be reserved, or their registration should be prohibited, is subject to ongoing assessment. These might be new generic domains, for example, if a new category of enterprise should emerge along the lines of AS (a limited-liability company); new geographical names, for example if new municipalities are created; new technical names in connection with the establishment of new services; and so on. If names which may be relevant emerge, an assessment is undertaken in consultation with the LBDR Advisory Board of whether these names fulfil the requirements for inclusion in one of the categories in Appendix A. LBDR may temporarily prohibit the names until a decision has been made. Notice of the decision that the names are to be added to Appendix A is given in the normal way, although for practical reasons the names will also be blocked during the notice period. The addition of new names to the prohibited/reserved list will not have retroactive effect. This means that names that have already been registered will not be removed even if they are added to the list. If the name is deleted later, new registration of the name will however be blocked. Such names cannot be transferred to a new domain name holder either. Taking names into use or removing names Names that are prohibited Every year, LBDR carries out an assessment of whether these names should still be prohibited or should be removed from Appendix A.

  • Neighbourhood Profiles: Shelter Condition, Access to Public Services and Hygiene Behaviours
    Neighbourhood Profiles: Shelter condition, access to public services and hygiene behaviours Date 2/29/2016 From Ciara Noone, Programs To Coordination Subject Neighbourhood Profiles: Shelter condition, access to public services and hygiene behaviours Reference Sabil Street, Farhat Street, Ersel Street, Mazaar Street 1. Background and objective The influx of Syrian refugees into Lebanon has placed further pressure on the country’s poor solid waste management, limited water supply (both quality and quantity) and sewerage systems, all of which faced significant issues even before the crisis began. Some of the poorest neighbourhoods in Lebanon have felt the greatest impact, as refugees seek the lower rents and informal livelihood opportunities that are available in these areas. The need to share these limited resources and deficient services is a constant and visible reminder for the host community of the presence of refugees; leading to tensions between the communities and is also impacting the health of the host and refugee residents. The Syrian crisis response to date has largely overlooked the wider needs of these poor areas, often offering only punctual assistance to isolated community members without a sustainable global strategy. In response to this, ACTED has been implementing a holistic WASH and shelter program comprising both household level and community level interventions supporting vulnerable families residing in ten priority neighbourhoods throughout Beirut and Mount Lebanon since March 2014. The program has been delivered across three phases: Phase 1: WASH and shelter activities were conducted in five neighbourhoods identified in March 2015: Saint Simon, Kniset al Salib, Tartej and Al Bashaa and Maroun Misk (which was removed from the program due to high security risks) Phase 2: An additional three neighbourhoods and the extension of one neighbourhood as identified in November 2015: Farhat Mosque, Mar Takla, Tamlees and Hay Al Gharbay (extension of Al Bashaa).
