  • Lebanon: Aid Security Insight October 2020
    Lebanon: Aid Security Insight October 2020 In the afternoon of 4 August 2020, two explosions occurred at Beirut’s seaport causing over 180 deaths and injuring more than 6,000 people. The blast destroyed several major hospitals, some 20 clinics, and over 120 schools. The blast happened against a background of a deep political, financial, and economic crisis. The coping capacity of services were already stretched, compounded by the spread of COVID-19. Today, there are a wide range of humanitarian needs in Lebanon, a country where refugees make up 30% of the population. The number of daily COVID-19 infections rose sharply at the end of August and has been steadily climbing since then. This document provides information on safety and security concerns aid agencies responding to the wide range of needs in the country should consider in their duty of care responsibilities towards their staff and local partners. The analysis is based on security incidents and concerns shared by ten aid agencies through the Aid in Danger project. It provides a unique insight into the environment in which aid agencies work. It is based on data for January 2015 and June 2020. Overall there has been no significant change in humanitarian access in Lebanon so far. This document describes the security trends affecting aid observed over the past five years. Reported concerns affecting aid delivery in Lebanon • Aid delivery disruption: Common in the past. Threatening behaviour by local individuals and beneficiaries towards NGO staff members, notably over beneficiary lists, and aid contracts and activities. • Operational space: Most frequently reported issue in 2020.

Sampling Summary This inception report summarizes the first and second stages of selection in the sampling process and includes a draft survey instrument. The proposed distribution of interviews across governorates, districts and vulnerability-levels are given in Appendix A: Distribution of Interviews. The distribution of Lebanon’s population, vulnerability-levels, and the proposed allocation of interviews at the cadaster level is visualized in Appendix B: Maps. The proposed survey instrument is available in English at https://enketo.ona.io/x/#YTxI and also included in Appendix C: Survey Instrument. 1.1. First and Second Stage Sampling Given the research objectives of the survey and with the proposed sample size of N = 5; 000 interviews per survey wave, there will be adequate statistical power to assess meaningful differences in outcomes with precision at the governorate (muhafaza) level, as well as differences across levels of vulnerability indicated in the ‘Most Vulnerable Localities in Lebanon’ map (see Map B.2). A complex sample design was required to optimize the efficiency of the sample across the two dimensions of (a) district geographies and (b) vulnerability-level geographies, while at the same time (c) minimizing the margin of error for total-sample statistics.
