Description

The Access to water, environmental rehabilitation and sustainable waste management in Lebanon initiative will be implemented by a partnership consisting of: two Italian CSOs in “Temporary Association”: 1. Comitato Internazionale per lo Sviluppo dei Popoli (CISP), 2. Cooperazione Internazionale (COOPI) one Lebanese NGO: 3. Openness Development Association (ODA) and two Lebanese Public Bodies: 4. North Lebanon Water Establishment (NLWE), and 5. Union of Municipalities of Jurd Al Kaytaa (UoMJK). Project’s target area is the territory of the Union of Municipalities of Jurd Al Qayataa, in the Governorate of Akkar, in northern Lebanon. The project aims to Contribute to ensure access to safe and drinkable water for all and reduce the environmental impact of waste management in the territory of the Union, in line with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 6 and3 11.4 Specifically, the intervention aims to Improve the availability of drinking water from non-contaminated ecosystems and with a reduced negative environmental impact for the population of the target area through 1) the improvement of the system of distribution and use of drinking water, and 2) the improvement of the solid waste management system. Furthermore, through the planned actions, the initiative contributes to the improvement of the quality of environmental conditions in the UoMJK territory, eliminating illegal landfills with consequent reduction of leachate infiltrations, in the Nahr al-Bared catchment area, supporting the implementation of policies and UoMJK local plans and the development of effective and integrated solid waste and water management systems. Target group: The entire population of the Union, 138,287 individuals (Lebanese and Syrian refugees), will benefit from this project. More specifically, the direct beneficiaries include: ? 138,287 individuals (22,927 families) of which 131,876 (21,619 families) Lebanese and 6,411 individuals (1,308 families) Syrians, living in the 15 municipalities of UoMJK, who will benefit from improved solid waste management; ? Out of the total population of 138,287 individuals, 43,380, out of which 40,480 Lebanese and 2,900 Syrian refugees, they will benefit from improved and safely managed drinking water services. ? 8,000 individuals (1,333 families) will benefit from community awareness and information initiatives. Contribution of the activity to the set objectives: In the UoMJK area, infrastructure works will be carried out including construction of a new water distribution network, house connections to the water network, upgrading a pumping station and connecting the water system to the electricity network. Furthermore, the area will benefit from the organization and development of a standardized system for the collection and disposal of solid waste, and from the reclamation of an illegal landfill with reconversion of the area to public green. Improving and strengthening the water distribution network will also obtain other beneficial effects on the environment through the reduction of CO2 emissions linked to the current water supply trough water trucking (since currently the water networks are not available or out of use), the reduction of plastic consumption linked to the current dependence of the population on the purchase of bottled water, the elimination of leachate infiltrations from uncontrolled landfills in the aquifers. Furthermore, by reactivating water distribution networks and making it possible to use existing storage systems, access to public water will reduce the need to use and / or dig private wells that negatively affect strategic groundwater reserves. read more close
