UNOPS and Canada modernize key logistics hub in Lebanon
With funding from the government of Canada, UNOPS rehabilitated key warehouse facilities for the Lebanese Armed Forces Logistics Brigade, contributing to Lebanon’s long-term stability and institutional capacity.
At a time of unprecedented challenges in the Middle East, UNOPS and the government of Canada have come together to enhance logistics operations of the Lebanese Armed Forces Logistics Brigade – which plays a vital role in supporting peace and security efforts across the country.
The project involved the full structural rehabilitation of three warehouses, constructing a new basement, installing an upgraded operational system, and procuring essential equipment. The modern facilities will allow the Logistics Brigade to receive, store and distribute all equipment and means resources can be preserved and used efficiently.
“This project will significantly enhance our logistical capabilities in the storage, preservation and effective use of equipment in support of operational and security missions,“ said Brigadier General Amine El Kai, Representative of the Interim Army Commander-In-Chief.
“It represents a critical element in maintaining operational readiness, particularly in emergency situations.”
Remarking on the project’s long-term impact, Gregory Galligan, Ambassador of Canada to Lebanon and Syria, said: “By investing in modern, sustainable infrastructure, we are helping strengthen the operational backbone of the Lebanese Armed Forces, today and for the future.”
“With this initiative, we have not just rehabilitated physical infrastructure; we have collectively invested in systems, capacities and people of a vital institution in Lebanon,” said Muhammad Usman Akram, Representative and Director of UNOPS Multi-Country Office in Amman.
