The Support to Reform and Environmental Governance (StREG) programme, funded by the European Union with an €8 million grant, was launched on 31 May in Lebanon. This programme aims at improving environmental governance, and more specifically at creating an effective capacity at the Ministry of Environment in order to plan and implement environmental policies, including enforcement and mainstreaming through coordination with other key line-ministries.
The national supervisor of the programme will be the Ministry of Environment, which will deal with technical preparation and coordination of implementation. The contracting authority will be the Presidency of the Council of Ministers.
