Beirut, July 25, 2023 – The Government of Japan and UNOPS launched a project in support of the critical public facilities in Lebanon. The project responds to the energy crisis in Lebanon through the provision of renewable energy and energy saving solutions to public hospitals and water pumping stations in Nabatieh and Bekaa governorates.

H.E. Mr. Masayuki Magoshi, Ambassador of Japan to Lebanon said: ”This initiative could not have been more timely given the ongoing challenges in the health and water sectors across the country. The project aims to alleviate the daily struggles of the most vulnerable people by solar energy, which is sustainable, reliable and cost effective power supply.
