SHiFT launched its emergency response on March 2, 2026, to support families displaced by the escalation of violence in Lebanon. Thousands of people fled their homes with minimal belongings and are now sheltering in public schools and collective shelters across the country. Over 700,000 internally displaced people (IDPs) have been registered, including 119,700 staying in collective shelters, highlighting the scale of humanitarian needs.
The first toolbox: Conflict Sensitive Cash
Assistance in Lebanon aims to support
partners to ensure that cash-based
assistance does not inadvertently do
harm and is conflict sensitive. The toolbox
is complementary to the Guidance Note:
Getting Started with Conflict Sensitivity in
Lebanon which introduces basic conflict
sensitivity elements and practical tips for
getting started with conflict sensitivity.
within the unique context of Lebanon.
The three CS Guidance notes cover 3 essential areas; Getting started with CS in Lebanon; CS in Project Design Cycle; and CS Procurement, Recruitment, and accountability.
