The project targets 11 Union of Municipalities in Lebanon, namely: Al Buhaira, Al Sahel, Kalaat el Estiklal, Jabal El Sheikh, Central Bekaa, Zahle Caza, Baalbeck and Surrounding Communities, Tyre, Aarqoub, Central and Coastal Qayta’a, and Al Shafat. The project was designed to collect demands from Municipalities and Union of Municipalities in terms of basic service delivery (works and equipment, subcomponent 1a and component 2) and social cohesion (subcomponent 1b), and deliver these activities through the Council for Development and Reconstruction (CDR), benefitting Lebanese host communities and Syrian refugees. During appraisal, the task team evaluated CDR’s mandate and concluded that its experience, which revolved around development and post-conflict reconstruction in Lebanon, together with its long track record of successfully implementing Bank-financed projects, made it the most suited implementing agency for the project.The implementing entity confirmed its commitment to completing project implementation, and considering the volatility of the security situation in the country and the region, has requested from the Bank a potential 6-month extension to complete all project-funded activities, moving the closing date from December 30, 2017 to June 30, 2018.  رؤية أقل ـ
