: ERF projects addressing water scarcity (as of 4 August 2014)

Responding to the expected water scarcity facing Lebanon following an unusual dry and mild winter, the humanitarian community, in coordination with the relevant water authorities and in line with the Ministry of Water and Energy’s Strategic Plan, developed preparedness and response plans to mitigate and address the humanitarian impact of water scarcity.

To support the plans, the Humanitarian Coordinator launched a call for proposals for the Emergency Response Fund on 17 June. 15 projects from four local NGOs, 10 international NGOs and one UN agency were approved, to a value of $4.5 million. Eight out of the 14 benefiting NGOs are first time-recipients of ERF funds.
