The project will assist the Government of Lebanon in the process of rehabilitating selected agro-industrial enterprises (including food, beverage, textile, furniture making, etc.), enabling them to resume production and integrate the global market. It is expected that a minimum of 75 to 100 agro-enterprises will be rehabilitated, directly generating 1.000 to 1.500 jobs. The rehabilitation of the targeted agro-enterprises will have a multiplier effect in creating more jobs in food and non-food production as well as improving the quality of life of the rural population, increasing food supply, and contributing to poverty reduction.
