WELCOME TO USAID | LEBANON |
Side-by-side with the Lebanese people, the U.S. Agency for International Development works to bring hope and prosperity to Lebanon. This partnership between the people of America and Lebanon dates back to 1951, and continues in strength today. The American people are contributing $67.5 million to USAID’s programs in Lebanon in 2009. USAID invests those funds in a range of areas that Lebanon has identified as priorities, including support for an effective judicial system, strengthening civil society, economic growth and prosperity, improving public education facilities, water resource and environmental management, and reconstruction..  PHOTO OF THE WEEKADVANCED TRAINING ON DISABILITY INCLUSIONUSAID funded an advanced training workshop on March 24, 2009, targeting non-governmental organizations. The objective of the workshop was to provide non-governmental organizations with the tools and methodologies necessary to employ people with disabilities in their organizations. The workshop covered the following themes: criteria to engineer a space in an inclusive manner, orientation and mobility for the visually impaired and the physically disabled, vocational and social communication, adapted modes of communication and access to information materials and adapting scopes of work. Many of organizations who attended the workshop will use the information as they plan on employing people with disabilities within their institutions, as part of USAID's Towards Inclusive Development in Lebanon program. |
