World Food Programme Multi-purpose Cash Assistance in Lebanon: Protection outcomes for Syrian refugees
Format
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In response to the growing refugee crisis caused by more than nine years of devastating conflict in Syria, the World Food Programme (WFP) provides multi-purpose cash (MPC) assistance to 23,000 Syrian refugee households in Lebanon, supporting some of the most vulnerable refugees in meeting their basic needs. This study examines the role of the WFP MPC in shaping refugee protection outcomes. It presents the experience and perceptions of 270 respondents at three sites in Lebanon’s Bekaa Valley: Baalbek, Saadnayel and Qabb Elias, drawing on in-depth interviews and focus group discussions carried out over the course of 2018 and 2019.
