The discussion highlights Lebanon’s compounded political, economic, and social crises, including long-standing humanitarian pressures, and the need for rapid, transparent implementation. Support focuses on cash transfers for extremely poor and vulnerable Lebanese households and access to social services for vulnerable populations, including Syrian refugees. Directors also emphasize governance capacity, debt and risk management, mitigation, monitoring, communication, and donor coordination to build a shock-responsive national system.","Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized  \nLebanon  \nEmergency Crisis and COVID-19 Response Social Safety Net Project  \nJanuary 12, 2021  \nChair Summary*  \nThe Executive Directors approved a loan for the Lebanese Republic for the Emergency Crisis and COVID-19 Response Social Safety Net Project in the amount of US$246 million on the terms and conditions set out in the President’s Memorandum.  \nDirectors expressed strong appreciation for the World Bank’s continuing efforts to support the Lebanese people, especially during the current compounded political, economic and social crises in the country. They noted that Lebanon has been enduring extremely difficult conditions as a result of a combination of a balance-of-payments crisis, an economic and banking sector crisis, and a 10-year humanitarian situation caused by an unprecedented influx of displaced Syrians, all of which have been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic and most recently by the Port of Beirut explosion.  \nDirectors supported the scale and design of the project and acknowledged its urgency and relevance to the current context alongside the importance of swift and transparent implementation. They also supported the objectives ofthe project, namely, to provide cash transfers to extremely poor and vulnerable Lebanese households and access to social services to vulnerable populations including Syrian refugees.  \nDirectors commended the focus on investing in various building blocks of social safety net delivery schemes and stressed the need to continue to incentivize financing to meet the needs of the displaced people in the country. They also emphasized the need to support the Government of Lebanon’s fiscal and economic reforms, in coordination with the IMF.  \nDirectors noted with concern the high and unsustainable debt level of Lebanon and urged management to continue to work with the Lebanese authorities on a debt management strategy. They took note of the fiduciary and non-fiduciary risks associated with the implementation of the project and stressed the importance of having adequate mitigation measures, monitoring mechanisms, and communication strategies in place to help ensure effective and efficient implementation of the Project. Given the fiscal and political risks, they also inquired about the government’s capacity to take over the project and ensure the long-term sustainability of the program.  \nDirectors underlined the importance of effective coordination with donors and development partners to optimize the use of existing resources and progress towards meeting the needs of the poorest families, as well as building a shock-responsive national social safety net system.  \n*This Summary is not an approved record.","cbCaijk4Tfvn5q4p","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaijk4Tfvn5q4p","pdf",127067,5,1,"English","en",105,"# Chair Summary\n## Project approval and context\n## Project design, objectives, and beneficiaries\n## Risks, mitigation, and implementation capacity\n## Coordination and long-term sustainability","[{\"question\":\"What project did the Executive Directors approve for Lebanon, and what was the loan amount?\",\"answer\":\"They approved a loan for the Emergency Crisis and COVID-19 Response Social Safety Net Project for the Lebanese Republic in the amount of US$246 million, under terms set out in the President’s Memorandum.\"},{\"question\":\"What are the main objectives of the project?\",\"answer\":\"The project aims to provide cash transfers to extremely poor and vulnerable Lebanese households and to improve access to social services for vulnerable populations, including Syrian refugees.\"},{\"question\":\"What concerns did Directors raise regarding risks and sustainability?\",\"answer\":\"Directors expressed concern about Lebanon’s high and unsustainable debt level and urged work on a debt management strategy.
