Tunisia EU Announces €8 Million for Post-Conflict Stability in Lebanon
The European Union announced 8 million Euro to support stability, security, and peace in Lebanon, following 13 months of conflict. The project will be implemented by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC). The devastating conflict has led to too many civilian casualties. It has caused massive destruction and displacement. It has put a strain on already fragile public institutions, limiting their ability to deliver essential services to the people. Security institutions continue to face many challenges in maintaining stability amid ongoing tensions. The European Union, in partnership with UNDP and UNODC, is assisting communities affected by conflict and facilitating their return to safe and stable areas. The project will strengthen local initiatives for conflict prevention and peacebuilding. It will enhance the capacity of the Internal Security Forces (ISF) in their delivery of security services. Additionally, the project will support the Lebanon Mine Action Center (LMAC) in managing unexploded ordnance in conflict-affected areas. The contract was signed at the ISF headquarters in Beirut, in the presence of ISF Director General Major General Raed Abdullah, Mr. Peter Wagner, Director of the EU Service for Foreign Policy Instruments, Ms. Sandra De Waele, Ambassador of the European Union to Lebanon, and Ms. Blerta Aliko, UNDP Resident Representative in Lebanon.
