The paramount objective of IDEAL was to aid World Vision in implementing the youth empowerment component of the Youth Resolve project, which is funded by the European Union's Madad Trust Fund. The project is being carried out in conjunction with nine different municipalities in Lebanon's two major governorates, Beirut-mount Lebanon (Sin el Fil, Furn El Chibbak, Aley, Choueifet, and Arsoun) and Bekaa (Mekse, Douris, Ras Baalbeck, and Hermel), to establish and maintain nine youth municipal councils to advocate for youth-related issues and implement quick-impact projects in their communities that contribute to social stability and foster active decision-making and means of advocacy on the local and national level.
