However, because grant allocation, project implementation and reporting processes often take place over multiple years (CBPFs are designed to support ongoing and evolving humanitarian responses), the achievement of CBPFs are reported in two distinct ways: Information on allocations for granted in 2019 (shown in blue). This method considers intended impact of the allocations rather than achieved results as project implementation and reporting often continues into the subsequent year and results information is not immediately available at the time of publication of annual reports. Results reported in 2019 attributed to allocations granted in 2019 and prior years (shown in orange). This method provides a more com- plete picture of achievements during a given calendar year but includes results from allocations that were granted in previous years. This data is extracted from final narrative reports approved between 1 February 2019 - 31 January 2020. Figures for people targeted and reached may include double counting as individuals often receive aid from multiple cluster/sectors. Contribution recorded based on the exchange rate when the cash was received which may differ from the Certified Statement of Accounts that records contributions based on the exchange rate at the time of the pledge. 2019 IN REVIEW 7 2019 IN REVIEW HUMANITARIAN CONTEXT Humanitarian context in 2019 Spillover from the Syria crisis continues to have an impact tension at the local level.

A dissertation presented By Sana Tannoury Karam ABSTRACT OF DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the College of Social Sciences and Humanities of Northeastern University December 2017 2 This dissertation is an intellectual and cultural history of an invisible generation of leftists that were active in Lebanon, and more generally in the Levant, between the years 1920 and 1948. It chronicles the foundation and development of this intellectual milieu within the political Left, and how intellectuals interpreted leftist principles and struggled to maintain a fluid, ideologically non-rigid space, in which they incorporated an array of ideas and affinities, and formulated their own distinct worldviews. More broadly, this study is concerned with how intellectuals in the post-World War One period engaged with the political sphere and negotiated their presence within new structures of power. It explains the social, political, as well as personal contexts that prompted intellectuals embrace certain ideas. Using periodicals, personal papers, memoirs, and collections of primary material produced by this milieu, this dissertation argues that leftist intellectuals pushed to politicize the role and figure of the ‘intellectual’.

    Lebanon: Background and US Policy

    Lebanon: Background and U.S. Policy name redacted Specialist in Middle Eastern Affairs April 4, 2014 Congressional Research Service 7-.... www.crs.gov R42816 Lebanon: Background and U.S. Policy Summary Lebanon’s small geographic size and population belie the important role it has long played in the security, stability, and economy of the Levant and the broader Middle East. Congress and the executive branch have recognized Lebanon’s status as a venue for regional strategic competition and have engaged diplomatically, financially, and at times, militarily to influence events there. For most of its independent existence, Lebanon has been torn by periodic civil conflict and political battles between rival religious sects and ideological groups. External military intervention, occupation, and interference have exacerbated Lebanon’s political struggles in recent decades. Lebanon is an important factor in U.S. calculations regarding regional security, particularly regarding Israel and Iran. Congressional concerns have focused on the prominent role that Hezbollah, an Iran-backed Shia Muslim militia, political party, and U.S.-designated terrorist organization, continues to play in Lebanon and beyond, including its recent armed intervention in Syria. Congress has appropriated more than $1 billion since the end of the brief Israel-Hezbollah war of 2006 to support U.S. policies designed to extend Lebanese security forces’ control over the country and promote economic growth. The civil war in neighboring Syria is progressively destabilizing Lebanon. According to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, more than 1 million predominantly Sunni Syrian refugees have fled to Lebanon, equivalent to close to one-quarter of Lebanon’s population.

    Snapshot – on the Borders: What Fighting in the Town of Arsal Tells Us About Instability in Lebanon

    Snapshot – On the Borders: What Fighting in the Town of Arsal Tells Us about Instability in Lebanon For a full text copy of the Snapshot, click here. The growing instability in Lebanon has been overshadowed by events in Iraq and Syria, but heightened tensions between Lebanese citizens, Syrian refugees, and competing military forces make Lebanon a critical part of the Middle East’s latest security crisis. Lebanon is being put under extreme pressure by the influx of 1.15 million registered Syrian refugees into a country already struggling to meet the basic needs of its citizens. The longstanding political divisions in Lebanon have been compounded by Hizbullah’s intervention in the Syrian civil war. The United States and Saudi Arabia have offered Lebanon emergency military aid, but this neglects the long-term humanitarian nature of the crisis and its effects on inter-communal relationships. What is needed is a long-term strategy to deal with the impact that Syrian refugees have had on Lebanese society and to contain violent outbreaks with sensitivity to the local dynamics from which they have emerged. In order to take an in-depth look at factors that are leading to growing incidents of violence in Lebanon, this Snapshot focuses on the town of Arsal, which has experienced the intense pressures that are threatening stability in Lebanon as a whole. SUMMARY Violent conflict in the Lebanese town of Arsal on the border with Syria offers a striking microcosm of the pressure the Syrian conflict is placing on Lebanon. Lebanon is struggling to cope with the influx of Syrian refugees, who now make up one fourth of the population.
