LRFP-2022-9173221-Developing a Situation Analysis on Palestinian Children and Adolescents living in the State of Palestine, Jordan, Lebanon and Syria.

The analysis will combine three different sources of information: Desk review of existing documentation, analysis of administrative data and primary qualitative data collection.

Stages of the Situation Analysis:

• Inception phase (initial desk review, development of the conceptual framework, methodology and the analytical plan, development of the data collection tool, proposal of a timeline)

• Desk review of existing SitAns on children (completed reports or drafts) and other data sources (survey reports, analytical reports, articles), focusing on Palestinian children’s  rights and child-related SDGs, in the State of Palestine, Jordan, Lebanon and Syria, including – when possible - an aggregate for the four countries together.

• Review and analysis of administrative and programme data (mostly from UNRWA) to reflect Palestine refugee access to services and their socio-economic conditions.

• Conduct FGDs (tentatively, 8 in Palestine, 4 each in Jordan, Lebanon and Syria) with Palestinian adolescents and young people (selected among the beneficiaries of UNICEF and UNRWA interventions) to reflect their voices on their situation, their main concerns and aspirations, including on how their lives changed with the COVID-19 pandemic. The results of these FGDs will be analyses within reference framework of the SitAn, ground on children’s rights and SDGs.

• Conduct an online survey with the adolescents and young people, beneficiaries of UNICEF and UNRWA interventions, reflecting their situation, the access to services, their aspirations for the future and their main concerns. Analysis of the results.

• Reporting: development of the draft reports, the final report and the presentation with the key results/messages. The report should present analysis on the situation of Palestine children and adolescents’ rights in the State of Palestine, Jordan, Lebanon and Syria, with clear distinction of the realities in each country.
