According to the Bank’s website, the objective of this project is to expand support for the immediate social recovery needs of vulnerable groups in Lebanon.
The environmental risk is determined as Moderate. Although there are no civil works interventions, for the support of Mobile Medical Units (MMUs) and NGO-run Primary Healthcare Centers (PHCs) in their outreach teams to PWDs (under Component 1.3), there are risks associated with the handling of the medical waste.
The SRP Phase 2 is rated as having 'moderate' social risks similar to the SRP Phase 1 because the potential adverse risks and imacts on human populations are not likely to be significant, the project is not complex and/or large, and does not involve activities that have a high potential for harming people, risks are predictable and expected to be temporary and/or reversible, low in magnitude and the risks and impacts can be readily mitigated.
The International Rescue Committee (IRC) will act as the grant recipient and implementing agency.
