Content_paragraphs:  The strategic framework and the Lebanon Financing Facility (a multi-donor trust 
  
  fund) were presented to the international conference in support of the Lebanese 
  
  population, which was hosted virtually by France and the United Nations on 
  
  2 December. Taking stock of the humanitarian response to the crisis and efforts towards 
  
  early recovery, participants expressed concern regarding the socioeconomic and 
  
  humanitarian situation, reiterated the urgent need for Lebanese political leaders to agree 
  
  as soon as possible on the formation of a credible Government, called for respect for 
  
  human rights and reaffirmed solidarity with the people of Lebanon. Participants 
  
  emphasized the importance of the continuity of funding beyond emergency humanitarian 
  
  aid, notably for good governance, health, education, social protection, housing, culture 
  
  and heritage, with special attention to the immediate needs of small and medium-sized 
  
  enterprises. The participants supported the reconstruction of the port facilities and 
  
  adjacent neighbourhoods to build back better and in an inclusive and transparent manner, 
  
  and strongly recalled the importance of the effective implementation of the reforms 
  
  expected by the men and women of Lebanon and the international community.
