II. Scope/Objective

Following the recent significant deterioration of the situation in Syria, Lebanon is witnessing a sharply rising influx of refugees along the northern and eastern borders. A rapid socio-economic assessment carried out by UNDP in these areas indicates that the refugees represent a major and increasing burden on host communities, competing already limited social services, employment and other opportunities. In particular, the impacts on the environment and more specifically the water and energy sectors have now become critical, exacerbating what was already a fragile state of affairs prior to the crisis. Furthermore, the Lebanon Crisis Response Plan – LCRP (2015-2016) identified energy, solid waste and water as target sectors. More specifically the plan states, that “Government authorities in charge of the Energy and Water Sector, in collaboration with international and local partners, will continue their strong support to the most affected local communities, particularly through infrastructure projects in electricity, water, wastewater and solid waste. This has a vital benefit in mitigating the risks of social conflict between the local host communities and the displaced persons from Syria, and will be realized through the implementation of several activities.

Accordingly, projects addressing the Syrian Crisis will produce reports, publications and other material pertaining to their different implementation, for local and international audience to raise awareness on its activities as well as a part of a capacity building process. The projects are seeking to hire a Graphic Designer and Communication Assistant to take the lead in the development and production of high quality graphic designs and visual communications through multiple medians, and other communication tools.
