Supply of Firefighting Gear for LCD

Through its implementing partner, North LEDA, IOM aims to achieve its objective through 3 specific outputs:

• Output 1.1: Conduct a Comprehensive and inclusive community assessment including community hazard, assets and resources, direct impact and indirect impact mapping.
• Output 1.2: Conduct a Comprehensive mapping of relevant partners and policy architecture at the national and sub-national levels.
• Output 1.3: Develop DRR evidence-based solutions and accordingly prioritize and implement one intervention.

Under Output 1.1: “Conduct a Comprehensive and inclusive community assessment including community hazard, assets and resources, direct impact and indirect impact mapping” and Output 1.3: “Develop DRR evidence-based solutions and accordingly prioritize and implement one intervention”, North LEDA has identified the below issue:

The Lebanese Civil Defense are the first respondents to over 90% of disasters, while local authorities lack the resources and knowhow and fully depend on them. However, in light of the current economic crisis, LCD first respondents lack most of the basic requirements in terms of equipment, supplies, and gear, and receive very little to no funds from the central and local governments.

In order to support LCD first respondents in their efforts, IOM, through North LEDA intends to provide them with the needed equipment, supplies, and gear so they can perform their duties to the best of their capabilities while maintaining their own safety and security.

Under the Institutional Support to LCD intervention, North LEDA intends to purchase the items listed in the appended annex (Tender Details).
