USAID officially launched its new $70 million Trade and Investment Facilitation (TIF) project, a five-year activity implemented by DAI Global (DAI) to enhance economic opportunities in targeted business sectors in Lebanon. The launch event was held virtually on the 28th of January, in the presence of U.S. Ambassador Dorothy C. Shea, along with more than 100 participants from industrialists, service providers, and representatives from business associations, syndicates, universities, NGOs, chambers of commerce, investors, financial institutions, donors, USAID implementing partners, and other relevant stakeholders.
In the midst of a crippling financial and economic crisis, a global pandemic and a devastating explosion, TIF is designed to enhance economic opportunities by facilitating trade and investment in targeted business sectors, such as agro-food processing, manufacturing, tourism and hospitality, the knowledge economy and services. Partnering with ecosystem stakeholders, private associations and companies, TIF seeks to expand exports of Lebanese goods and services, facilitate domestic investment and improve the business and investment enabling environment.
