This dialogue was hosted by the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) NORCAP-CashCap’s Community of Practice (CoP) for Linking Cash Voucher Assistance (CVA) and Social Protection. It was dedicated to discuss the findings of the policy paper developed by the Arab Reform Initiative (ARI) and the CAMEALEON consortium on “Lebanon’s Social Protection System Suffers Amidst the Current War: Urgent Action Needed!”
The policy paper assesses Lebanon’s social protection response to the ongoing war and provides recommendations for policymakers to further develop this response and later improve the shock-responsiveness and -resilience of the country’s social protection system. The policy paper is also proposing a list of immediate and medium-term recommendations to ensure the social protection system becomes more shock responsive.
