The Government of Lebanon through the Council for Development and Reconstruction (CDR)
The project concerns the development of water and wastewater facilities in the greater Kesrwan area. The components financed by the EIB include the construction of a wastewater treatment plant, a sea outfall and the related networks.
As signatory to the Barcelona Convention, Lebanon is required to have secondary wastewater treatment plants for coastal population centres of 100 ,000 people or more. The project aims to protect the coastal waters of Kesrwan and inland water sources from contamination and exposure to untreated sewage.
The project has an overall positive environmental impact. All investments financed from the resources made available by the Bank are required to comply with the relevant national legal framework and be acceptable, in environmental terms, to the Bank in line, as appropriate, with the EU Environmental policy and legislation. Within the EU, the project would fall under Annex I of the EIA Directive. An existing environmental assessment will be up-dated by the promoter before disbursement.
The Bank’s standard procurement guidelines to Investment Loans will apply.
