Supporting Older People and their households meet their essential lifesaving needs In Lebanon, HelpAge is currently implementing a similar activity supported by GFFO and HAD in the same governorates where the identified needs are exceeding its capacity to provide the support to all beneficiaries, therefore this intervention is being proposed to respond to these needs and benefit more households from multi-purpose cash assistance.
HelpAge cash project officer will be responsible for implementing this activity with the support of the outreach workers of our current partner IDRAAC. The team will be responsible for ensuring the safe access of beneficiaries to cash and eliminating protection risks. 
Most vulnerable households will be identified and selected using a vulnerability assessment tool that will be conducted in the target locations. The vulnerability assessment and scoring tool has been developed previously in the current project in consultation with the protection and basic assistance sectors taking into account protection risks and other vulnerability criteria.  Results of the vulnerability assessment will be reviewed, verified, and analysed by the cash project officer and then will be verified by HelpAge cash assistance committee, cross-checked with UNHCR for duplicates of Syrian refugees receiving similar assistance, and by the cash distribution agency for legal eligibility.
Multipurpose cash will be distributed to vulnerable populations through the money transfer agency “OMT” through which they can withdraw their money from any OMT branches in USD currency. This will be coordinated with the sectors, contracted money transfer agency, and beneficiaries. Beneficiaries will receive an amount of 200 EUR exchanged to USD according to the official exchange rate. This amount will be provided one time to selected beneficiaries during the course of the project. 
80 households focusing on older people will benefit from this support to help meet their basic needs and provide immediate support to alleviate their stress feelings and positively impact their mental health. 

The project will be implemented directly by HelpAge International Lebanon with the support of IDRAAC's outreach team of outreach workers and social workers.
