Building Alliance for Local Advancement with USAID support
18-1-2018
The USAID funded Building Alliance for Local Advancement, Development and Investment (BALADI) initiative announced yesterday from Le Gray Hotel in Beirut the launch of 32 new development projects which will receive the support and in-kind assistance from the program. This comes after BALADI’s third call for funding municipal development undertaking in July 2017 which paved the way for a larger number of municipalities to submit projects responding to their community needs. On the occasion, Rene Moawad Foundation CEO Michel Moawad, said that the BALADI initiative has, since its inception in 2012, proved to be a crucial need for local municipal development. It especially targets municipalities that lack proper financial and human capacities to help them implement needed community development activities and deliver required public services, Moawad maintained. For her part, USAID Mission Director, Anne Patterson, pointed out that the Agency will provide more than USD 3 million in the form of equipment, installations, infrastructure, technical assistance and training for the implementation of new projects that alleviate economic and social burdens of Lebanese host communities. The new projects cover 7 sectors, namely: solar water heating, income generation, solar street lighting, health services, public education, electricity generation and solar-powered water supply. The above projects will engage municipalities, rural communities and non-government organizations across Lebanon.
