About the USAID-Funded Community Support Program (CSP) in Lebanon:

USAID’s Community Support Program is designed to improve the delivery of essential services and enhance economic opportunities, primarily in Lebanon’s North, South, and Beqaa regions. Through its support of municipalities and underserved and vulnerable communities, CSP aims to improve lives and reduce tensions that contribute to conflict and violence in the country.

Description of Intervention:

CSP’s technical assistance and capacity building component, also known as Task Order 3 (TO 3), complements the program’s community support, workforce development, and wastewater management activities by ensuring that recipients of assistance possess the know-how, skills, and tools to maximize the impact and sustainability of USAID’s investments. 

CSP Task Order 3 is soliciting Expressions of Interest from Lebanese Organizations, registered as Charity Organization in the United States of America and / or Australia, to participate in CSP’s initiative to Solicit Diaspora funding in the above-mentioned communities. Funding transferred through such organizations would allow a large and corporate donation from Lebanese corporations abroad to be tax deductible, hence incentivizing more individuals / corporate entities to contribute to the improvement of public services in their communities back home.
