00:02 The reform,
00:02 recovery and Reconstruction framework is a response plan launched in December
00:06 2020 to support Lebanon in addressing the urgent needs of the population
00:11 affected by the 4th of August port of Beirut explosion.
00:14 The 3RF is designed as a collaborative process
00:17 based on the participation of the government,
00:19 civil society,
00:21 and the international community.
00:22 The 3RF focuses on two main tracks in the short-term,
00:26 a recovery addressing people's needs,
00:28 in the medium to longer term,
00:29 reforms and then reconstruction.
00:47 Two years
00:48 after the tragic blast of the port of Beirut,
00:51 we have managed with the partners to come up with a people-centered recovery.
00:55 Unfortunately,
00:57 in terms of reforms,
00:58 very little has been achieved.
01:00 It is very important that we push for the social protection strategy
01:04 because this is the only way to protect the
01:06 most vulnerable and really to leave no one behind.
01:24 The Lebanon financing facility under the 3RF
01:27 supports the immediate recovery needs of the Lebanese
01:30 people impacted by the port of Beirut explosion.
01:33 However,
01:34 the deliberate delay in addressing the root causes of the crisis
01:37 runs the risk of systemic failing of state institutions.
01:41 Therefore,
01:41 it is extremely urgent for the Lebanese
01:43 government and all the stakeholders to adopt and
01:46 implement a comprehensive reform and recovery program
01:49 to prevent the state from further sinking.
01:55 It's been 2 years
01:57 since the blast in the port of Beirut.
01:59 Unfortunately,
02:01 the investigation continues to be impeded.
02:04 The people and the families of the victims have a right to know
02:07 what happened and who is responsible for what happened.
02:11 Without accountability,
02:12 this country cannot move forward.
02:14 Impunity cannot and should not be the norm.
