DocumentLebanon: Lebanon Country Programming Framework 2012-2015 2012
Also available in:
No results found.This Country Programming Framework (CPF) has been prepared in order to revisit past technical cooperation between FAO and Lebanon in light of the changes in the global food and agriculture system and the changed circumstances of FAO and Lebanon. The view of the recent Independent External Evaluation of FAO underlies this work, that the Organization must consider becoming more of a facilitator or knowledge manager to assist informed decision-making where the neutrality of FAO gives it an absolute comparative advantage. It should also be acknowledged that the limited resources of FAO must be complemented by carefully targeted investments from other international as well as domestic sources. -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetFisheries & aquaculture in Lebanon - Briefing note 2021
Also available in:
The Lebanese coastline is 220 km long with a narrow continental shelf (less than 1 200 km2 with up to 200 m depth), which rarely extends beyond an 8 km strip from the coast, except for North Lebanon. Lebanon's large hydrological network includes a dozen of rivers running through the coast, which consequently plays an important role in the quality of marine coastal waters. The Lebanese coast hosts 44 fishing ports and landing sites that harbor around 3 000 all-artisanal, small-scale fishing vessels. The fisheries of Lebanon are traditionally based on trammel nets, longlines and purse seine nets that capture roughly 3 000 - 3 500 tons annually (2 800 tons in 2018). Main species caught are sardines, anchovies and seabreams. Since the production of the fisheries sector cannot cover the national demand, Lebanon has been dependent on fish imports, which averaged 35 000 tons in recent years, but dropped to 12 800 tons in 2020. Freshwater aquaculture has been practiced since the 1930s. Most production, from the 300 farms, was rainbow trout (1 000 tons in 2018), which are grown in semi-intensive growing systems, mainly along Assi River, that were introduced in 1958. Moreover, the only onshore marine farm in Aabdeh, Akkar produces annually 15 tons of shrimps. -

2023Also available in:
No results found.The project aimed to offer access to agricultural technical vocational training to young Syrian and Lebanese students including enrolment in the Lebanese public secondary-level technical degree programme of the technical baccalaureate in agriculture. The final aim was for these students to have a better chance to access the job market as well as provide them with the necessary technical qualifications and official diplomas. The evaluation found that the project was highly relevant to the needs of the government and beneficiaries, and delivered on its obligations despite the complexity and the challenging operational environment.
