Water Access, Health, and Education Transformation in Palestine refugee Camps in Lebanon

ongoing

AFD’s Peace & Resilience grant will allow comprehensive rehabilitation of all urgent water infrastructure needs across all camps in Lebanon. These works will durably provide greater access to safe, equitable and sufficient quantities of water to meet the increasing daily demand of Palestine refugees in Lebanon.The new contribution will also support UNRWA in constructing two school complexes, one comprised of Elementary and Preparatory schools in Nahr el-Bared Camp, and another in Beirut made up of a Preparatory and Secondary school. The purpose-built schools will replace rented and pre-fabricated school premises ensuring local students – boys and girls, according to their needs - receive quality, equitable and inclusive basic education in a safer and more secure context. UNRWA will pilot trilingual Arabic-English-French education, reflecting the additional educational and economic opportunities available in Lebanon’s multilingual context.
