Lebanese companies or non-government organizations are invited to submit proposals to serve as regional Business Promotion Partners (BPPs) for the Lebanon Enterprise Development (LED) Project in a) Beirut/Mount Lebanon, b) Bekka, and/or c) South Lebanon.

LED is a USAID-funded project with the goal of facilitating increased employment opportunities for Lebanese citizens. LED is implemented by Chemonics International through its local entity, Chemonics Beirut S.A.R.L.

To achieve its objective, LED will apply a problem-solving buyer-led approach to help Lebanese firms increase their sales and hire more Lebanese citizens. LED’s principal partners during implementation will be local Business Promotion Partners (BPPs) operating from Lebanon’s four regions. LED BPPs will provide Business Advisor(s) to help LED identify private sector client firms and implement enterprise growth plans that increase their sales and create jobs.

Accordingly, Chemonics Beirut is soliciting proposals from eligible Lebanese companies or non-government organizations to serve as LED BPPs.
