About

CSP is installing a solar system for the village water pump to ensure continuous energy supply and allowing farmers to access water and irrigate their agricultural plots.

CSP is providing 65 steel solid waste bins to the municipality of Majdlaya, and installing four large recyclable collection points in the village.

CSP is installing a 1,660-meter-long wastewater network for 3 neighborhoods (Jlayse, Jaayel and Bayader) in Batroun. The intervention aims to eliminate street-flooded wastewater, reduce the risk of underground water contamination, and prevent the disposal of 53,000L of untreated wastewater per day in the sea.

CSP is constructing a 1000-meter sewage line (10-inch wide with manholes every 25 meters) to connect a major neighborhood with around 270 households to the main sewage line linking Haret El Fouwar to the Tripoli Wastewater Treatment Plant.

CSP is developing and equipping a hiking trail of 1.7 kilometers connecting El Qalamoun in Tripoli District to Dedde in Koura. CSP will perform works needed for the trail with the purpose of making the hiking trail attractive to visitors. Labor-intensive works (LIW) is a short-term (3 weeks to 3 months) intervention focused on providing local populations with employment and income through improvement, repair and maintenance of productive public infrastructure and assets.

Through this activity, selected workers from both communities will implement ground levelling, stone rearrangement, concrete pouring where needed, and clearing the area for the hiking trail.

CSP is implementing a collaborative intervention to upgrade the village’s electrical transmission system, where Electricité du Liban (EDL) funds the transformer, the newly established municipality offers the land, and CSP constructs the transformer room, while also conducting an awareness campaign to highlight the benefits of electricity conservation.

CSP is launching a six-month sorting from source campaign in the village, including providing 400 recycling bins to households and six collection points which will reduce the tonnage of waste that needs to go to landfills and hence prevent any open-air dumping and burning of garbage.

CSP is providing a 400-KVA generator to the Khirbet Ej Jendi Municipality to replace the 360 KVA generator that has been running since 2013. The new generator will run along with an existing 250-KVA generator that was put in service in 2017. Both generators will supply all residents with an alternative source of energy.

CSP distributed 15 harvesters accessible to all farmers in both villages. Mechanical harvesters decrease the cost of harvesting by about 50 percent, allowing the farmers to save some 25 percent of the cost of producing olive oil.

CSP is carrying out a three-phase activity to provide Bechmezzine’s Material Recovery Facility (MRF) with the equipment and resources it needs in order to enhance productivity and efficiency, thereby enabling it to nearly double the amount of processed waste — from 939 tons to 1,697 tons. The intervention includes co-designing a viable business model with the MRF, providing it with essential collection and processing equipment (collection bins, back-up generator, truck weigh scale, etc.), and providing technical assistance related to the business model and the operations and maintenance of the equipment. CSP will also conduct an awareness campaign on sorting at source that will target the 18 villages the facility will be able to serve.

CSP provided the village with 60 large steel garbage containers, two collection points for recyclables, and a street sweeping accessory. The activity is supporting to increase the municipality’s waste collection capacity, and accelerate the waste collection process.

CSP is supporting farmers’ livelihoods in the three villages by constructing a semi-automated water distribution station, and reconstructing irrigation channels that feed the agricultural lands. This activity provides another source of irrigation water and reduces the cost of production by eliminating farmers’ need for water trucking.
