Project Background

The Lebanon Enterprise Development (LED) is a project funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) with a goal to increase employment opportunities for Lebanese citizens. Due to multiple challenges, Lebanon’s private sector is lagging in creating economic opportunities and jobs. LED will identify constraints preventing businesses from increasing sales or reaching new buyers/customers and will provide customized technical assistance to enable Lebanese enterprises to expand their activities, increase sales and create jobs. Over time, LED will also prioritize selected business enabling environment problems and work with the relevant stakeholders to analyze these issues and propose the needed solutions.
