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.

Kafalat will progressively announce, through the proper channels (including website and through participating MFIs), the time to move to the next zone.
