About the USAID-Funded Community Support Program (CSP) in Lebanon:

USAID’s Community Support Program (2018 – 2025) is designed to support municipalities and underserved and vulnerable communities in providing better services and enhanced economic opportunities to improve lives and reduce tensions that contribute to conflict and violence, primarily in Lebanon’s North, South, and Beqaa regions.

Description of Intervention:

CSP is soliciting proposals from organizations and individual consultants with the relevant expertise to design, develop, and implement a public awareness campaign targeting Lebanese residents affected by the August 4 Beirut explosions, which will focus on the following:

1) Personal safety

2) Psychological support

3) Preserving/restoring cultural heritage sites

4) Sorting at source

The campaign may comprise social media posts, SMSes, short videos, infographics, TV ads, etc. Applicants will be responsible for developing the campaign in a way that best communicates CSP-approved messages to blast-affected areas; CSP will review and approve the content of the messages.

The campaign’s objective is to increase residents’ awareness and knowledge on the topics listed above, which is crucial to cultivating an environment where change is possible, as detailed in Annex 1 (“Detailed Specifications and Requirements”).
