With the objective of forming more resilient communities in Lebanon, the USAID-funded BALADI CAP program’ s municipal capacity building component, carried out a technical training workshop on Emergency Action Planning conducted by service provider Association for Forests, Development and Conservation (AFDC) on March 7 and 8, 2018, at the municipality of Hazmieh. The workshop falls under the “Disaster Management Capacity Building” targeting partner municipalities located in the Bekaa and Mount Lebanon areas. Over 25 persons attended the workshop including municipal council members, members from the local communities involved in such activities and Lebanese Red Cross volunteers.
