- comments:
- EIIP management should consider how to overcome these challenges either by allocating funds for maintenance in several months ahead or alternatively find a solution in cooperation with donor agencies.
- challenges:
- With no maintenance/watering of for example of trees planted within the project, trees will die. The same goes with other projects requesting continued maintenance. This has a negative impact on the workers engagement when workers understand that their work and efforts has been in vain.
- success:
- Efficiency and short-term impact of the projects will improve if action is taken based on lessons learned.
- context:
- The economic crisis and the political instability in Lebanon have led to a situation where municipalities hardly have a budget to pay for very basic services such garbage collection. This explains why they may not be able to allocate funds for maintenance of EIIP supported projects.
The fact that the program targets and offer job opportunities for unskilled workers necessitates that projects/tasks to be done require a minimum of skilled workers.
- description:
- For the sake of relevance and sustainability select infrastructure subjects that can be implemented by low-skilled workers and with minimum maintenance needs. Alternatively, the program must sign an agreement with an external donor that will take care of the maintenance needed. This applies to Lebanese municipalities as they face significant financial constraints.
- administrative_issues:
- Depending on the model chosen, there will be a need to allocate funds for maintenance.
