Completed

The project was approved by the municipal council in 2003. In addition to that an official decree was published by the Lebanese government in the same year. Unfortunately, all roads were published under one decree. The condition now is very complicated. Many meetings were conducted to minimize the negative impact of the implementation of the decree. Unfortunately we could not succeed to find a solution.
Based on the above information, the Municipal Council decided to split the implementation of the decree into several parts. We hopes to cooperate in a productive and open way with the concerned habitants for the benefit and the future of Kafaraka

International Labour Organization agreed to finance the construction of the three roads. The project is expected to be implemented in August 2019.
The project was accomplished in December 2020. Around 2 km of new roads was constructed.

In order to improve the condition of saint George’s road ,the municipality of Kafaraka built 71 m length of support wall.

After the first survey that was conducted on 2017 ,the municipality of Kafaraka conducted a second survey in 2019. The results showed that 90 percent of the Syrian refugees are living in Kafaraka without any legal papers .

After conducting the project of waste water, the municipality of Kafaraka in cooperation with Koura municipality Union conducted the last part of the project by asphalting the road. The project was completed on 15 May 2019. The road was totally esphaled and the condition is now improved.

After the problem that occurred in 2017, the overflow of water greatly affected a number of houses at Asfoura section. The municipality of Kafaraka resorted to corrective measures and, hence, implemented a project at Asfoura section. This project was initiated in summer 2018. Moreover , it consists of building support walls for the existing water channel. After the recent evaluation of this project, successful results were shown.

On August 2018 and as part of the general rehabilitation of the main Kafaraka road , the municipality rehabilitated the bridge and the water channel coverage at the crossroads of Kafaraka – Kafarsaroun.

The old cover and bridge were replaced by a new concrete slab, the channel walls were rehabilitated and the channel was cleaned from mud and soil.

Upon the request of Greek orthodox parish council, The ministry of public work and transportation asphalted the road of saint Nouhra church.

As a preliminary sustainable solution, the municipality signed a contract with a specialized company to collect the solid municipal waste and transfer it out of Koura district.

This topic is not part of the authority of the municipal council. Nevertheless, we followed up the implementation of the all the steps of the project. Our goal is to solve the deep-rooted problem of the water in Kafaraka in a sustained manner.
The project has been satisfactorily completed but we are still working to improve the losses of pressure in some sections of the village.

The municipality conducted a water survey study for Kafaraka. The aim is to identify the location of the best available reserve of underground water in the village.

The roads were in very bad condition since long time. The reasons are related to:

1. The executing of new projects
2.  The lack of coordination between the contractors
3. Absence of maintenance since long ago

The Main road Kafaraka – Basrama is according to the Lebanese law under the responsibility of the Ministry of Public Works. The mayor sent a letter in July 2016 to His Excellency the Minister of Public Works wishing to pave the road. Unfortunately no action was implemented.

With the new government, the municipality reiterated its request to His Excellency the Minister of Public Works. The municipal council is still waiting for the final decision of His Excellency.
At the beginning of the spring 2017, the Municipal Council decided to repair and maintain the road at its expense in order to improve the situation to an acceptable level.
The project was implemented in May, noting that the current situation still not meeting our standard. The Municipal Council is working hard to continuously improve the condition.

The condition, after the maintenance that was done in May 2017, is slightly improved. We are planning to continuously improve the road condition after completing the executing of the waste water project.
The secondary road in Talaa was asphalted completely in July 2017. The Unions of koura municipalities in cooperation with Kafaraka municipality conducted the work.

In order to preserve the security of the village and the human rights of the Syrian refugees, the municipality has conducted a comprehensive survey of all the Refugees in Kafaraka.
The Municipality asked Kafaraka residents to report any changes that may occur.

In order to improve the security in the village, a two night guards were added to the security team. A new transportation facility was bought to improve the condition.

The Municipality has maintained most of the street lighting poles. Noting that, the Municipality is looking to improve the quality and intensity of the lighting street system.

The municipality has introduced modern techniques and equipment for fighting harmful insects and bugs. The results will be evaluated periodically in order to continuously improve the condition.

The municipality launched a series of agricultural and cultural Seminars to spread the knowledge and improve the agricultural production. The participation and the interest of the people in the workshops were still below the required level.

A support walls were constructed to eliminate the overflow of water during the winter season. In addition to that maintenance for the channel was conducted to minimize the overflow of the waste water from neighboring village in the summer season.

The website aims to increase the level of communication between the
municipality of Kafaraka and residents of the village, locally and
abroad.
