TunisiaThe European Union Announces New Support for Lebanon
In these times of uncertainty and instability in the region, the European Union reaffirms its support to the people of Lebanon and has decided to allocate 205.5 million Euros to address several priority areas to support the country’s stability and recovery.
As a first priority, the European Union will continue supporting Lebanon with enhancing border management, by offering financial and technical assistance to align it with international standards. This will contribute to Lebanon’s overall security and stability, in the face of regional uncertainty and threats.
Moreover, the European Union will continue supporting Lebanese public institutions in enhancing governance, accountability and transparency when running public affairs and providing basic services to the population. This includes improving the management of the water sector by introducing monitoring systems for water extraction and upgrading existing customer databases.
The European Union will also support measures to respond to the ongoing electricity crisis in Lebanon, by encouraging renewable energy and energy efficiency investments by SMEs.
