How It Works
Disbursement to grantees will be conditional to the completion of a screening done by MFIs and Kafalat to assess their recovery needs based on the assessments of damages status conducted by the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) immediately following the blast, and to ensure that the same expense is not financed from different sources.

Application Process
The project will adopt a zoning approach for prioritization, following the zones defined by the Lebanese Armed Forces.

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.
