Bilateral development aid - 2018
Lebanon became a priority country for Polish development cooperation in 2018. Polish involvement there includes primarily support in caring for Syrian refugees and providing them with lodgings and basic social services, including access to education and health care. The Polish development aid for Lebanon also included two projects completed by the Embassy of the Republic of Poland in Beirut. Infrastructure allowing nature-friendly waste management was installed in the Kadisha Valley, classified as a UNESCO world heritage site and visited by numerous tourists. In three localities – Mechen, Hayata and Al Kaa – safe playgrounds for the youngest Lebanese were built, and the children frequenting them are being supported by animators trained in protecting juveniles in dangerous situations.
In 2018, the total ODA for Lebanon was PLN 18.53 million
