As stated by the World Bank, the project development objective is to mobilize and allocate public resources and initiate banking reforms to support the crisis response and recovery in Lebanon.
The deepening of the crisis has eroded institutional capacity to effectively respond to the crisis and to manage recovery. The proposed project aims to change this dynamic by restoring and maintaining core public financial management functions. This includes: (a) stabilizing revenue administration, including tax and customs; (b) restoring fiscal controls, including budgeting and reporting; and (c) revitalizing oversight and accountability institutions, and procurement capacity building.
The World Bank categorized the E&S risks of the project as "Moderate".
