Tenders Are Invited For Working Group For People Affected By The Syrian Crisis

Tenders are invited for Working Group for People Affected by the Syrian Crisis in Lebanon. Additionally, local CSO partners will be supported to increase their capacity to conduct innovative qualitative and quantitative research into various aspects of the Syrian refugee crisis in Lebanon, which will also serve as the basis for rights-based advocacy at national, regional, and international level, and to counsel refugees on their mobility options. Particular attention will be paid to the protection situation of Syrian refugees, the gendered dynamics of forced displacement, and access to information on the conditions for a safe, voluntary, informed, and dignified return. In doing so, the project aims to ensure that the Lebanese government adopts rights based legal and practical bases for the safe,voluntary, informed, and dignified return of displaced Syrians. The project will also support local CSO partners to make the bridge - in their own programming and advocacy - between humanitarian, development, and peacebuilding projects. By providing a grassroots perspective and operational insights on the implementation of the triple nexus, local CSOs will ensure that donor interventions are better aligned with the priorities and needs of displaced Syrians and take on further responsibility in ensuring resettlement spaces. Finally, the project aims to achieve that local CSO partners in Lebanon have increased their legitimacy to effectively represent displaced rightsholders, and that both rightsholders and local CSOs are able to participate in national, regional,and international policy discussions actively and meaningfully around durable solutions, including discussions around the triple nexus. Within the course of the project, ALEF is coordinating the Triple Nexus Platform (TNP),a sub-group within the existing Working Group for People Affected by the Syrian Crisis (WG PASC). This TNP is serving as a structural platform for local CSOs working with Syrian refugees in Lebanon to conduct joint analysis; share reflections, lessons learnt and best practices; to organize regular exchanges and workshops with external experts, peers in other host countries and donor representatives; and to develop joint advocacy briefings with practical recommendations that can feed into policy discussions. The projects pool-funding mechanism, which is being managed by ALEF, will be re-launched in late 2025 to fund a third round of triple nexus projects by PASC TNP members. A TNP member will be provided with a grant to implement a triple nexus project at a local and national level informed by PASCs 2024 strategy update.
