The European Union is committed to fighting terrorism and supporting Lebanon in its efforts to withstand internal and external pressures as well as security threats. It does so by strengthening the resilience of its security institutions, including its border security agencies.

As part of the European Commission’s Instrument contributing to Stability and Peace (IcSP), and as a complement to existing EU initiatives within the security sector of Lebanon, this project seeks to reinforce the role that border agencies play as drivers of stability and national cohesion.

The European Union is committed to continuing to finance projects that are geared towards improving capacity at the Beirut Rafic Hariri International Airport, while developing synergies with like-minded technical assistance projects financed by the European Union.
