UN Development Programme

Lebanon continues to confront an unprecedented financial and economic crisis, exacerbated by a long history of violence, volatility, and social inequality. This crisis has deeply undermined the subsistence capacity of already vulnerable populations. The country remains home to the largest numbers of refugees per capita in the world, with approximately 1.5 million displaced Syrians, 31,400 Palestine refugees from Syria, 35,000 Lebanese returnees, and a pre-existing population of 174,422 Palestine refugees residing in 12 official refugee camps and 156 gatherings. Moreover, the geopolitical environment continues to deteriorate, which poses risks for new displacement waves. This multi-layered crisis has had devastating impacts on Lebanon s social, economic, and environmental capital, and increasingly threatens the country's social cohesion and stability.

Communities hosting large numbers of displaced populations face compounded challenges due to inadequate institutional capacities, dwindling resources, and a lack of effective collective approaches to managing the crisis. These communities are grappling with the consequences of the Syrian displacement crisis, which has been further exacerbated since 2019 by a severe economic, fiscal, and governance meltdown. Additionally, the increasing pressures from climate change have intensified these vulnerabilities. This state-of-affairs weakens the ability of local communities to cope with the immediate impacts of the crisis, such as service breakdowns, rising poverty, and growing tensions between and within communities. These challenges, in turn, limit their capacity to pursue a sustainable development path, particularly as durable solutions to the displacementcrisis remain elusive.

In response to these challenges, the Lebanon Host Community Support Project Phase 2 (LHSP 2.0) builds upon the lessons learned from the original LHSP project, which has been implemented since 2014. LHSP 2.0 seeks to anchor stabilization activities within a more integrated local development framework. It focuses on working at the area-based level within clusters and unions, with a strong emphasis on strengthening municipal capacities to enhance the sustainability and impact of stabilization efforts.

At the local level, LHSP 2.0 aims to bolster the coping and sustainable development capacities of host communities. Its key objectives are to create a more enabling environment for mitigating and preventing tensions by:

  • Reducing competition over public services, livelihood, and economic opportunities: This is achieved by supporting the maintenance and expansion of service delivery and creating economic opportunities, especially in the context of the significant incapacitation of both public and private sectors.
  • Providing conflict-sensitive and inclusive dialogue and decision-making spaces: These spaces allow local communities to engage in peaceful discussions, identify common interests, and collaboratively chart a path towards a sustainable future.

The Local Development for Stabilization project (LDP) further complements the objectives of LHSP 2.0 by enhancing local governance, capacity building, and economic resilience across Lebanon. This initiative focuses
on the long-term recovery and stability of host communities, ensuring that development strategies are inclusive, sustainable, and responsive to the complex needs of both displaced and host populations. By fostering an environment where local governments and communities can manage development processes effectively, LDP seeks to integrate economic, social, and environmental resilience at the community level.

Together, the LHSP 2.0 and LDP projects are critical in addressing Lebanon's multi-dimensional vulnerabilities and ensuring the country s capacity for sustainable, inclusive recovery. They aim to create a harmonious, integrated approach to local development that not only addresses immediate needs but also builds resilience for the future.
