The Lebanese Government, represented by the High Relief Committee and supported by the United Nations Development program, in August 1998, appointed a group of consultants to propose, for spring 1999, the axis of a regional socio-econonical programmne for the development of the regions affected by the occupation and conflict in South Lebanon. This program constitutes the project of the Lebanese Government for the development of the South in the perspective of peace and regained sovereignty. However, its implementation can be initiated despite the persistence of the conflict. The development program for South Lebanon is founded on the potential of this region, which allows it to aspire to diversified and harmonious social and economical growth and to living standards equivalent to those of other regions.
