Conflict Sensitivity Consultancy

Conflict Sensitivity

Workshop

 

Background:

 

Lebanon is one of the most diverse countries in Middle East. Its rich culture in terms of heritage from various Empires and Kingdoms is breath-taking. Lebanon is a country with many ethnic, cultural and religious communities. Syrian War and mass exodus of citizens from there have taken its toll on Lebanon society. Lebanon society was already a host of large thousands of Palestinians and hosting refugees from Syria created a new social dynamics. Lebanon society was comprised of Palestinian residents, Syrian refugees and Lebanese citizens. The clash of influences between the stronger countries in the region in many occasions creates a challenge for co-existence of Lebanon communities.

 

Recently Lebanon economy suffered a decline, which needs a further boost in order to survive the challenges of inflation and returning tourism in various seasons. Social dynamics have also created different cohesion in the society, thus it is of utmost importance to understand in depth political constellation, but also socio-economic status of Lebanon today.

 

CARE International presence is consolidated in two main areas: Beirut and Tripoli, although we have a minimal presence in Tyre as well. CARE Lebanon has scaled up rapidly over the past few years and today it has over 63 staff members and is in partnership with over 18 different local/international organizations. 90% of the team is composed of national staff with symbolic number of international presence. Programming areas include; GBV, Protection, Livelihoods, WASH, Shelter, etc. As we are working on shaping the CARE Lebanon future vision, it would of utmost importance to understand community dynamics, conflict settings and the way we operate in the forthcoming period.
