Objective of the Programme

LERII is a 4-year DFID-funded programme that will support the Lebanese Government (GoL) in implementing economic reforms related to electricity, roads, water, waste management, PPPs, PFM, investment climate and macro-fiscal reforms. The overall outcome of the programme is to increase likelihood that the Lebanese government:

1. Implements key economic reforms;
2. Reaches agreement on the construction of key donor-financed infrastructure;
3. And that such projects are successfully built and operated.

To achieve these objectives two type of delivery vehicles will be used:  

• Support preparation and investment in large infrastructure projects through the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD). Delivery of this component will be linked to progress on economic reforms.  

• Technical assistance (TA) delivered through a flexible and adaptive facility (LERII-TAF) managed by DAI to support Lebanese government ministries and agencies who are involved in direct planning and delivery of infrastructure and economic reforms.
