Postwar reconstruction and development efforts will be fruitless unless accompanied by intelligent and objective policy analysis and open debate. The LCPS has taken a vigorous role in this area by organizing conferences and overseeing research on important aspects of postwar development.
In cooperation with America-Mideast Training and Educational and Training Services (AMIDEAST), LCPS prepared a comprehensive study of Postwar Institutional Development in Lebanon with an Assessment for Foreign Assistance. The seminar study explored Lebanon's social and economic needs and charted its foreign aid requirements.
The Study was conducted upon the request of the U.S. Agency for International Development (AID), and has been adopted as a reference document by a number of local and international aid agencies. This Study and has been followed by other development studies and reports for several UN agencies.
