Solid Waste Management & Water Conservation Consultant-Tall Abbas Village – Sahel Akkar Area

1. BACKGROUND INFORMATION 1.1. Beneficiary country Lebanon 1.2. Contracting Authority World Vision Lebanon 1.3. Country background As a result of the on-going conflict in Syria, Lebanon is hosting over 1,001,051 vulnerable registered Syrian refugees in addition to a big number of recorded Syrians who have fled to Lebanon due to the ongoing crisis. The number of registered refugees currently represents over 25% of the Lebanese population and the highest burden of refugees of any country making Lebanon in the first rank with one Syrian refugee for four Lebanese residents . As the Lebanese economic and social structures are still struggling to recover from decades of violence, the government remains unable to meet its citizens’ needs that created gaps in the delivery of basic services. Despite these growing needs, current funding allocated to Lebanon estimated at 40% of that needed to address the crisis and its stabilization. At the same time, the economic situation in Lebanon has become unstable and up to 25% of the Lebanese community and 70% of Syrian refugee families in Lebanon are living below the national poverty line . As a result, there is an urgent need to address these needs to prevent further instability, particularly as the conflict and tensions in the region continue to escalate. North of Lebanon is hosting 25% of the total number of refugees and has been considered as deprived region accounting to the second highest poor population (28% of the total poor population) in Lebanon . The fragile political, social and economic situation is further challenged by the continuous inflow of refugees and the long-lasting displacement is starting to exhaust the hosting capacities of local populations. While the host population is formed of just more than 4 million and a half people before the crisis, Lebanon’s local resources and ability to cope with the influx of refugees is becoming increasingly difficult. Additionally, due to the lack of proper planning and management to the crisis, Lebanon started facing huge obstacles related to waste management and water conservation especially in the absence of a proper environmental knowledge of both the refugees and host community members. 2.
