World Bank contemplates trust fund for Lebanon

The Daily Star

The World Bank is looking into establishing a Multi Donor Trust Fund to support Lebanon after its government requested a swift assessment of the social and economic impact of the Syrian conflict on the country, a source close to the discussions told The Daily Star.

The assessment, which will tackle needs in the health, education, tourism and trade sectors, will be presented at an international support group for Lebanon on the sidelines of a Sept. 25 meeting of the U.N. General Assembly.
