INTRODUCTION
A. ORGANIZATION BACKGROUND

The Lebanon Reforestation Initiative (LRI) is a Lebanese NGO registered at the Ministry of Interior and Municipalities under no. 1186 on 18 June 2014 and had started as a project launched in 2010 by the United States Forest Service (USFS) Office of International Programs (IP) through the support and funding of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID).

The UNDP Sustainable Land Management in the Qaraoun Catchment (SLMQ) Project aims at embedding sustainability considerations in land use planning and development activities in the Qaraoun Catchment.

The project is funded by the Global Environment Facility (GEF) and is implemented in partnership with the Ministry of Environment in Lebanon. The project is intended to reshape land and natural resource management to (i) alleviate land degradation, (ii) maintain existing ecosystem services and (iii) improve livelihoods in the Qaraoun Catchment.

LRI is seeking a qualified hydrologist to develop a flood risk assessment of the Litani river-s strip (i.e., riparian

A. SCOPE OF WORK

LRI is implementing a sub?contract under the SLMQ project with the main objective to rehabilitate the riparian strips connecting Ammiq with Anjar?Kfarzabad in the districts of Zahle and West Bekaa over a total distance of approximately 25 km. This exercise will be done in close coordination with UNDP, the Ministry of Environment (MoE), the Ministry of Agriculture (MoA), the Ministry of Energy and Water (MoEW) as well as with local communities including municipalities, etc. to build their capacities and to ensure the sustainability of the implemented measures.

Therefore, LRI is planning to develop a flood risk assessment as a tool to develop site?specific rehabilitation plans of the riparian area between Ammiq and Anjar?Kfarzabad, over the 25 km (15 meters from each side of the river).
