The government of Lebanon invites expressions of interest from consultants to serve on a Panel of Environmental and Social Experts to oversee construction of Bisri Dam, a water supply dam, and associated infrastructure in Lebanon. Responses are due June 25.
The World Bank recruited consultants in February to perform a study of hydropower development in Lebanon.
The government's Council for Development and Reconstruction now invites expressions of interest to serve on the panel, which will include an environmental specialist, a social specialist and a cultural anthropologist. The panel is to ensure that the project complies with international standards of excellence and safety for water resources infrastructure. Work is to cover pre-construction, five years of construction for the dam, and post-construction operation and maintenance during initial reservoir filling over two years.
