Description of the project – Strengthening of civil society coordination and SME support (CSCR). On August 4, 2020, a massive explosion in the port of Beirut destroyed the main part of Lebanon's main port and damaged densely populated residential and commercial areas within a five-kilometer radius. The explosion killed more than 200 people, injured 6000, destroyed over 60,000 homes and left 300,000 people homeless. A large number of micro and small businesses were damaged or destroyed; even before the explosion, they had been severely weakened by the devastating economic and financial crisis in Lebanon. The objective of the measure is to provide needs-based support to vulnerable populations affected by the explosion and to contribute to the inclusive reconstruction of Beirut. The project aims therefore to promote coordination of civil society actors and to provide needs-based support to affected people, as well as to support micro and small businesses in resuming and expanding entrepreneurial activities.
