Background and Context

The USAID-funded Trade and Investment Facilitation (TIF) project purpose is to facilitate export of Lebanese goods and services to generate foreign exchange through investments that simultaneously promote job creation, income generation, and improved livelihoods throughout the country.

TIF has three objectives:

1) increased exports of Lebanese goods and services,

2) investment facilitation leading to increased domestic investment, and

3) improved business and investment enabling environment.

 

The TIF conducted sector analysis, which resulted into identifying TIF priority sectors and each sector’s main challenges, opportunities and potential areas of interventions related to the growth of each one of them.

In March 2021, TIF launched its Call for Partnership - Annual Program Statement (APS), which was broadly published across Lebanon to submit development plans.  Additionally, key stakeholders in each of TIF priority sectors were invited to sector webinars and introducing them to TIF’s APS.

As a next step leading to achieve TIF’s objectives, the workshops and co-creation activities for approved development plans have started, in partnerships with key stakeholders. Per USAID regulations, all project activities have to be screened for any potential impact on the environment.
