Lebanese training to use the internet

The Lebanese people have all the ingenuity and entrepreneurship they need to compete in the global marketplace and grow Lebanon’s economy. But Lebanon’s outdated communications infrastructure puts Lebanese industry at a competitive disadvantage, costing jobs, decreasing revenue, and slowing economic growth.

The Partnership for Lebanon is working with the Lebanese government and business leaders to modernize Lebanon’s communications infrastructure through innovation and investment. In so doing, the Partnership is helping Lebanon update technology, reduce connectivity costs, and improve ICT quality across the board.

The Partnership is working with the Telecommunications Regulatory Agency (TRA) to develop a national broadband strategy designed to bring broadband to Lebanon’s urban and rural communities. As part of this effort, the Partnership is conducting broadband business analysis, developing network architecture options, and crafting a regulatory framework to facilitate the successful implementation of a modern communications infrastructure.


The Partnership is also working with the government owned telecom operator, Ogero, to increase Lebanon’s international bandwidth capacity. The Partnership has provided Orego with an Internet Exchange Point and is assembling the equipment needed to install two state of the art International Internet Gateways.

To help educate local stakeholders about the benefits of a modern communications infrastructure, the Partnership and in coordination with the LBSG Committee which represents economic councils, private sector leaders and professional assiociations, launched a recent Advertising Campaign.

The objective of this campaign is to raise awareness and educate the Lebanese public on the need of a True Broadband Infrastructure in Lebanon. The True Broadband Infrastructure will encourage economic
growth and social development.

The campaign second objective is to drive people to sign the manifesto.
