When to Apply - Priority Zones
When to Apply
The project will adopt a zoning approach for prioritization, following the zones defined by the Lebanese Armed Forces, and combining the most damaged zones with the most socio-economically vulnerable. Grant applications will be assessed on a first-come first-served basis and based on proximity to the blast area.
