Community Support Program-CSP Lebanon

USAID’s $100 million CSP (2018 – 2025) is designed to provide a broad range of support to underserved and vulnerable communities to improve the delivery of essential services and enhance economic opportunities, primarily in Lebanon’s North, South, and Beqaa regions. • CSP partners with municipalities, civil society, and the private sector to mitigate sources of tension through a mix of short- and medium-term assistance interventions that improve economic opportunities and address gaps in service delivery. • Rapid stabilization interventions may include the repair and rehabilitation of light infrastructure or the procurement of equipment like water tanks, generators, and electrical transformers. • Longer-term interventions are geared towards improving quality of life and livelihoods to achieve sustainable community development. These may include solid waste management, waste water management, solar energy solutions, agricultural equipment, support to livelihoods and work force development. • CSP complements infrastructure and equipment assistance interventions with targeted and specialized technical expertise and capacity building assistance to enhance the sustainability of those interventions among beneficiary communities.
