Lebanon
The Challenge
USAID's key objectives in Lebanon are to contribute to economic growth through the creation of jobs; improve environmental practices through water and wastewater management activities; and strengthen democracy through support of civil society, local government, parliament, as well as judicial and security institutions. Former Prime Minister Rafiq Hariri's assassination in February 2005, followed by the withdrawal of Syrian troops and the election of the first "made in Lebanon" government since the end of the civil war, resulted in some programmatic delays as the Lebanese coped with a tenuous security situation and political gridlock. However, the changes also created new opportunities to engage with the central government.
