MASAR for Local Governments is a programme funded by the EU MADAD trust fund and implemented in Lebanon and Iraq. The overall aim of the programme is to strengthen the long-term resilience of targeted subnational governments and their host, refugee and IDP populations to deal with displacement.

MASAR has three objectives:

To improve the capacities of subnational governments to engage in holistic, area-based planning and consider different scenarios that respond to the needs of host, refugee and IDP populations.

To improve service delivery to generate greater social stability outcomes based on the needs of host, refugee and IDP populations.

To empower subnational governments and service providers to facilitate local economic development and to have better access to municipal investment that benefit the extension of safe public services and create economic opportunities for host, refugee and IDP populations.

Background specific to the assignment:

Lebanon has been facing increasing challenges related to power supply. Breaks in energy supply from Electricité du Liban combined with the fuel crisis leave towns and cities without electricity affecting, among others, the functioning of public facilities. The aim of the consultancy is to support GIS units of three Unions of Municipalities (UoMs) as well as a wastewater treatment plant with designs of feasible solar energy systems allowing them to function despite the poor supply of electricity.
