CALL FOR PROPOSALS- Operational Management and Maintenance of Jisr El Wati Courts (Албания - Тендер #64217269)

More than three years after the Beirut Port explosion on 4 August 2020, Lebanon is facing a more multifaceted crisis than ever before, corroborating the collapse of Lebanons political and socio-economic model. This crisis, compounded by the presence of an estimated 1.5 million displaced Syrian refugees and previously the COVID-19 pandemic, has disproportionately affected the lower-income Lebanese and already vulnerable refugees and migrants struggling to meet their basic needs and to access essential services. It also impacted the countrys infrastructure and public institutions. Aiming at improving the living conditions of the affected population within Beirut and Bourj Hammoud municipalities, UNOPS is currently implementing Phases I and II of the project entitled SIMA (Sustainable Integrated Municipal Actions) following the Beirut Port Blast. This Project is funded by the German government through KfW Development Bank, and is fully managed by UNOPS as the direct implementer. As part of the preparatory phase of the Project, UNOPS hired the services of Consulting Firms who conducted technical and social assessments, in addition to a series of consultations with the Municipality of Beirut (MoB), Municipality of Bourj Hammoud (MoBH), Railways and Public Transportation Authority (RPTA) and other key stakeholders in order to identify priority areas for sustainable prospective sub-projects. The result of the assessments confirmed that Beirut and Bourj Hammoud areas still have considerable needs in both public and municipal services and infrastructure sectors.
