A high standard of proposals was received from several institutions in Lebanon, and after careful evaluation of all applications, MoreThanAJob team, announced the 2 winning projects out of 26 projects in Lebanon with the participation of the main (PA) actors in Lebanon.

The first winning project titled” Psychosocial and economic resilience of women in deprived areas” targets vulnerable women and girls from different rural areas who are the most affected by the ongoing aftermath of the political and socio-economic crisis in Lebanon.
