Project background

The European Union funded “Strengthening Capability for Integrated Border Management in Lebanon (EU IBM Lebanon – phase 3) project builds on distinct efforts supported by the EU since 2012 in its sustained effort to support effective, efficient and coordinated border management. The EU IBM Lebanon – Phase 3 project takes into close consideration and builds on the lessons learned from the previous implementation phases; namely “Developing the National Capability for IBM in Lebanon (Phase 1)” and “Enhanced Capability for IBM in Lebanon (Phase 2)”. In developing more targeted communications activities and outputs, the EU IBM Lebanon – Phase 3 project seeks to highlight the importance of the EU’s continued support and commitment in contributing to enhanced border management, security and safety in Lebanon.

The project is implemented by the International Centre for Migration Policy Development (ICMPD), an international organisation which has carried out several EU-funded projects in the fields of border management and security in Lebanon since 2012.

Objective
