The European Union funds the following projects:
- Solid Waste Management, referred to as BGO (Bureau de Gestion des Operations), to which an EU grant of Euro 14.2M was allocated through the ARLA Programme to fund investment projects presented by the Lebanese municipalities in the field of solid waste management.
- AFKAR helps build the capacity of civil society organizations in promoting social and HR development, and entrenching human rights and national reconciliation. The success of phase one of the AFKAR project (Euro 1M) led the way for a second phase (Euro3M) starting March 2006.
- Local Governance that is divided into two projects:
- Support to Local Governance (Euro 4M): targets twelve municipal clusters with the aim of establishing local development offices and developing communication strategies for each of the clusters; managing the decentralized cooperation activity between the Lebanese municipal clusters and European local communities; and coordinating the execution of the “signaletiques” activity that will take place in each municipal cluster.
- Local Development Project (Euro 9M): aims at implementing touristic projects in each of the twelve municipal clusters.
