(Note – over the lifetime of the programme, the below job description may be changed by mutual consent to reflect changing programme needs and priorities)

About DAI

DAI is an employee-owned global development company. For 40 years, we have worked on the frontlines of international development, tackling fundamental social and economic development problems caused by inefficient markets, ineffective governments, and instability. Currently, DAI is delivering results that matter in some 60 countries. Our integrated development solutions turn ideas into impact by bringing together fresh combinations of expertise and innovation across multiple disciplines—crisis mitigation and stability operations, democratic governance and public sector management, agriculture and agribusiness, private sector development and financial services, economics and trade, HIV/AIDS and disease control, water and natural resources management, and energy and climate change. Our clients include international development agencies, international lending institutions, private corporations and philanthropies, and national governments.

Objective of the Programme

Lebanon Economic Reform and Infrastructure Investment (LERII) Programme is a 4-year FCDO-funded programme that will support the Lebanese Government in implementing economic reforms related to electricity, roads, water, waste management, PPPs, PFM, investment climate and macro-fiscal reforms. The overall outcome of the programme is to increase likelihood that the Lebanese government:

  1. Implements key economic reforms;
  2. Reaches agreement on the construction of key donor-financed infrastructure;
  3. And that such projects are successfully built and operated.

To achieve these objectives two type of delivery vehicles will be used:

  • Support preparation and investment in large infrastructure projects through the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD). Delivery of this component will be linked to progress on economic reforms.

 

  • Technical assistance (TA) delivered through a flexible and adaptive facility managed by DAI to support Lebanese government ministries and agencies who are involved in direct planning and delivery of infrastructure and economic reforms.
