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.  PHOTO OF THE WEEKLOCAL AGRICULTURAL COOPERATIVE GENERATES INCOME FROM FEED WITH USAID FUNDINGAs part of the USAID-funded Landmine and War Victims’ Assistance program in the district of Jezzine, an animal feed mill was established in the village of Azour. The feed mill’s purpose is to cater for the needs of project beneficiaries by ensuring quality animal feed at affordable cost. The cooperative buys raw materials from the local market and processes them in the feed mill – taking into account the right mix for various agricultural needs, facilitates access to feed at a competitive price, controls feed quality and generates income to the cooperative through sales in various villages throughout the district. During the month of February 2008, the cooperative’s income from selling both poultry and goat feed alone reached more than $15,000. |
