Multi-sectorial Needs Assessment Support for Evidence-Based Aid Planning and Delivery for Migrants and Lebanese in Lebanon Lebanon’s deteriorating economic conditions are having a devastating impact on vulnerable populations. Figures from 2020 indicate that over half the population in Lebanon live below the poverty line. Disruptions from COVID-19 have exacerbated humanitarian conditions, by suspending livelihood means. The Beirut Port Explosion in August 2020 further worsened conditions, with extensive shelter damage and commercial destruction, rendering many homeless and others jobless. While limited indicators suggest that migrant population groups are being severely affected by these negative trends, there is a lack of comprehensive data and a gap analysis concerning migrants’ specific needs and vulnerabilities, and how these are evolving over time, and what solutions do they envisage for themselves. Through this project, IOM’s Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) aims to contribute to improved protection for vulnerable Lebanese and migrant populations, by informing humanitarian programming through data collection. DTM will therefore support the humanitarian country team led multi-sectorial needs assessment in Lebanon to build an evidence base for humanitarian planning.
