is pleased to invite you to the Lebanon Water Forum, 2016.
“Rethinking Water Service Provision in Lebanon”

The provision of water services in Lebanon has been facing considerable financial, technical, administrative and social constraints, limiting the provision of a high quality service. Consequently, public water service providers operate at an annual financial deficit with low cost recovery for the services provided. At the same time water consumers have a lack of trust in public services in general, and water services in particular. The Lebanon Water Forum 2016 aims to contribute to reflections on Lebanon’s National Water Sector Strategy and the foundations of Law 221 of 2000, with the objective of moving towards an improved Water Service Provision in Lebanon.
