Executive Summary In April 2020 the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) retained Agulhas Applied Knowledge (‘Agulhas’) to prepare a baseline assessment of projects implemented by the Lebanon Host Communities Support Programme (‘LHSP’), through a perception study (hereafter, ‘the project’). The research team launched data collection in June and provided the UNDP with initial indicator data in July 2020. This report contains our analysis of the survey results. Our key findings are as follows. • Respondents across our sample reported being significantly adversely affected by the current economic and political crisis in Lebanon: 17% were no longer able to afford food and 64% stated that they were buying less food. Syrians and those in South Governorate were more likely to report being unable to buy food. Only 8% of our sample reported the same level of spending on non-essential items and could be described as unaffected by the crisis. • Nearly half, 45%, of the Lebanese respondents surveyed were not optimistic about their future in the country and were planning to leave Lebanon. Being young or unemployed strongly correlated with a desire to leave Lebanon. o Unemployed respondents did not believe that the 17 October protests would have a positive impact on their futures and

  • Informing Targeted Host Community Programming in Lebanon
    INFORMING TARGETED HOST COMMUNITY PROGRAMMING IN LEBANON SECONDARY DATA REVIEW SEPTEMBER 2014 Host Community Vulnerabilities in Lebanon: Secondary Data Review – September 2014 SUMMARY As the Syria conflict enters its fourth year, the number of refugees settling in neighbouring countries continues to rise. According to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), an estimated 1,055,393 registered refugees from Syria reside in Lebanon.1 The influx of refugees from Syria, which constitutes 20 per cent of the total population living in Lebanon, has had a tremendous impact on the demographic, socioeconomic and security situation in the country. The 2014 Syria Regional Response Plan (RRP6) reported that 86 per cent of refugees have relocated to communities hosting 66 per cent of the most vulnerable Lebanese populations.2 The presence of refugees has affected the resilience of host communities, particularly in terms of accessing basic services and public infrastructure, as well as social cohesion within communities already affected by sectarian divisions. This secondary data review report was conducted during the inception phase of an assessment carried out by REACH Initiative in partnership with the United Nations Office for Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) in 2014. This larger study aims to inform host community programming in Lebanon through the participatory identification of vulnerabilities and factors that undermine community resilience and social cohesion. In terms of information management, this assessment hopes to fill a major information gap in regards to community vulnerabilities as they pertain to refugee and host community populations. This report provides a review of secondary data and information available on the social, economic and political impact of the refugee influx on host communities with a specific focus on the principal vectors of tension within these communities in the context of the Syria crisis.

  • 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.

A. History of Southern Lebanon Figure 3.1 The South Lebanon Overview Map South Lebanon in Arabic is Jnoub which means "South". South Lebanon is a Lebanese region in the south which consists of 2 administrative regions namely the South Governorate and El Nabatiye Governorate (unhcr, 2014). South Governorate has a population of around three quarters of a million spread in major cities, namely Saida, Jezzine, and Tire with an area of 929.6 km2, with its capital, Saida or Sidon. Most of the residents of South Governat are Muslim Shiites, this area is also known in the agricultural sector, especially in the commodity fruits, namely 37 38 oranges and bananas. El Nabatiye Governorate has an outside area of 1,058 km2 and has a total population of 316,541 people. There are four major cities in this area, namely El Nabatieh, Habaya, Marjaayoun, and Bent Jbeil with the capital city of El Nabatiye Governate is Nabatieh. 1. Free Lebanon State and South Lebanon Security Belt South Lebanon has traditionally been treated as one of the clear peripheral areas of the Lebanese state, which has limited interest in the elite in the capital. The regions, which now form the southern part of Lebanon - the coastal areas of Tire and Saida, along with the interior of the Jabal 'Amil mountain range, were added to parts of the country called Greater Lebanon only with the formation of the French mandate in 1920.

Since 2011, more than 1.5 million Syrian refugees have sought asylum in Lebanon, effectively increasing the population by 30%. The influx of Syrian refugees has placed additional strain on already strained public infrastructure, including health, electricity, water, and sanitation. However, the influx of Syrian refugees has also meant greater income-generating opportunities for Lebanese people and Syrian refugees as the real value of agricultural output has increased by 10 percent compared to the pre-crisis level (Hamade, November 2020) . At the same time, Lebanon is faced with increasing unemployment and poverty, rapidly rising inflation on food and non-food items, and a depreciated Lebanese Lira.
