WELCOME TO USAID | LEBANON

Side-by-side with the Lebanese people, the U.S. Agency for International Development works to bring hope and prosperity to Lebanon. This partnership between the people of America and Lebanon dates back to 1951, and continues in strength today.

The American people currently contribute $40 million a year to USAID’s programs in Lebanon. USAID invests those funds in five areas Lebanon has identified as priorities: creating jobs, investing in youth, protecting the environment, encouraging good governance and rebuilding Lebanon.

PUBLIC SCHOOLS INCORPORATE INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY INTO CLASSROOMS

Under the Lebanon Education Assistance for Development (LEAD) program, USAID funded the Learning Enhances Awareness (LEA) training sessions in partnership with the Cooperative Housing Foundation (CHF) and local partner IJMA3. As part of the LEA project, the El-Mourabi Fadl El-Moukadam Secondary School for Girls in Tripoli – one of seven schools participating in the LEA project – benefited from the information technology training. Nine students and seven teachers received training on how to use IT to improve students’ learning process. The goal of the LEA project is to introduce information technology into classrooms and encourage teachers and students to integrate IT into their teaching methods. Also under the LEA project, the school received computer equipment to apply the newly taught methods.
