Bent Jbayl Chehabiyé Continuum between Humanitarian Assistance, Stabilization, and Development Needs and Instruments
• While humanitarian needs continue to exist and need to be addressed through humanitarian funding channels, additional financing needs to be leveraged to strengthen the capacities of Lebanon and its communities hosting displaced to absorb the shocks on their economic and social fabric. • The Concessional Financing Facility will complement existing humanitarian and stabilization financing to address medium-term development needs in Lebanon in sectors impacted by the Syrian conflict and the large presence of displaced.
Strengthening national institutions and Macro-economic, infrastructure, social Humanitarian assistance and protection service delivery and environment
