Tenders Are Invited For Financial Service Provider (Fsp) For Bank CardBased Cash Assistance

Tenders are invited for FINANCIAL SERVICE PROVIDER (FSP) for Bank CardBased Cash Assistance The Lebanese Red Cross (LRC), founded on 9 July 1945 and officially recognized as a public non-profit organization in 1946, is the leading national humanitarian organization in Lebanon. Acting as an auxiliary to public authorities in the humanitarian field, LRC provides principled, neutral, and impartial assistance to populations affected by emergencies and crises across the country. In response to the evolving humanitarian context following the 2011 regional crisis and the large-scale influx of refugees, LRC established its Disaster Management Sector (DMS) in 2014. The sector was mandated to strengthen the organizations capacity to prepare for, respond to, and recover from emergencies and protracted crises, while ensuring that affected populations are supported in a dignified and accountable manner. Within DMS, the Economic Security (EcoSec) Program was developed to enhance the economic security and resilience of individuals and households through a range of interventions, including Cash and Voucher Assistance (CVA), in-kind support, and livelihoods-related activities. Since 2014, LRC has progressively built its CVA capacity, moving from pilot initiatives to large-scale, multi-sectoral cash responses implemented nationwide. LRCs CVA journey began with pilot interventions in 2014, followed by a scaling-up phase from 2016 onwards, during which cash assistance was increasingly integrated into emergency response, seasonal support, and sectoral programming. Delivery mechanisms evolved to include ATM-based bank cards, conditional and multipurpose cash grants, and later electronic voucher solutions. Tender Link : https://www.redcross.org.lb/tenders/
