Tender Details

Tenders are invited for Evaluation of the “Remote Learning Non-Formal Education” Programme.
With the eleventh year of the Syrian crisis, Lebanon remains the country hosting the largest number of refugees per capita, with a government estimate of 1.5 million Syrian refugees, and a large population of Palestine refugees. The country is facing an unprecedented socio-economic crisis, further exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic and the Beirut port explosion. This dire situation is severely affecting refugees, host communities and other vulnerable groups, such as migrant workers. Poverty levels are rising, along with difficulties in accessing livelihoods and meeting basic needs. The protection space in the country has drastically deteriorated and protection needs, including legal protection and specialised services, are increasingly being deprioritized by refugees and vulnerable groups, exposing them to additional risks.
OVERVIEW
NRC established its programme in Lebanon in 2006 in response to the July war. The country office is in Beirut, with field offices in South (Tyre), North (Tripoli and Akkar), Bekaa (Zahle) and Beirut and Mount Lebanon (Beirut). NRC implements programmes in four core competencies: Shelter, Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH), Information, Counselling & Legal Assistance (ICLA) and Education and has an Emergency Response Unit (ERU).
NRC-s shelter response includes a settlement-based approach, transitional shelter through the Occupancy Free of Charge programme, and shelter renovations and upgrades for Palestinian refugees and infrastructure support to Lebanese host communities. The WASH programme works to improve access to water, sanitation and hygiene services for refugee and host communities in urban areas, Informal Tented Settlements (ITSs) and public schools including schools- infrastructure and environments. The Education programme seeks to support refugee, displaced, and host community children enjoy their right to education and achieve their full potential.
In June 2016, NRC was selected as one of few recognized partners of Ministry of Education and Higher Education (MEHE). The education programme includes psychol-social support activities for children; non-formal education support to in- and out of-school children and youth; parental and community engagement, and teacher training. The education program runs through 17 community centres in Bekaa, South, and North Lebanon, assisting over 70, 000 children since 2007.
The ICLA programme assists refugees through more than 40 legal clinics and conducts mobile legal clinics that travel to refugee communities throughout Lebanon. Clinics provide group information sessions as well as individual counselling, followed by direct legal assistance, as needed. The ICLA programme covers civil documentation (birth, marriage, divorce and death registration), legal residency, and Housing, Land and Property (HLP) rights.
The youth programme supports refugees and host community youth in achieving their full potential and actively contribute to their community. NRC provides a variety of educational packages that cater to diverse needs of youth and are in alignment with the Government of Lebanon (GoL) policies. Youth between 15-30 years old from different educational backgrounds can participate in one or more of the educational services offered by the programme, based on their interest and willingness to learn. NRC-s Youth Education Pack (YEP) objective is to provide further education opportunities, increase community engagement and access to livelihoods enabling youth to be resilient and active members of their communities.
In December 2017, NRC Lebanon initiated a ERU team in the Bekaa Valley and later in the North. The ERU responds to any emergency cases or situations in our area of interventions. As such, the team assists refugees in need, both in IITSs and/or
sub-standard shelters. The support varies from provision of basic assistance (mattresses and blankets, kitchen sets, hygiene kits, etc.) to shelter kits distribution, site improvements and implementation of WASH activities, and emergency cash assistance.
