INTRODUCTION

Expertise France (EF) is a public agency created on 1st January 2015 and merging 6 French public agencies under the supervision of the French Ministries of Foreign Affairs and Economy and Finance with a strong inter-ministerial vocation. EF offers programme engineering and technical assistance by developing and implementing international cooperation actions worldwide. EF operates in various fields of development and institutional cooperation including safety and security reform, post-crisis/ stability, public health, human rights, strengthening of institutions and NGOs and governance. Carrying out large-scale, multi-stakeholder programmes, EF can ensure the cooperation between individuals, teams and institutions with very different statuses, cultures and specialties. Besides, EF has acquired a sound experience in administrative and financial management of large-scale international programmes.

Since 2014, Agence Française de Développement (AFD) has been helping the countries neighboring Syria and Iraq address the repercussions of the wars and the arrival of refugee populations. In 2017, the Sawa (“Together” in Arabic) Initiative mobilized EUR 86m of grants.

In the context of the commitments of the London and Brussels conferences, the Sawa Initiative for the Middle East supports refugee populations from Syria and Iraq, but also the most vulnerable women and men in the host countries in Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq and Turkey. Sawa supports national and local institutions, which are the first concerned by the management of the crisis.

In line with the commitments made by France at the World Humanitarian Summit in Istanbul in 2016, Sawa supports projects that are coordinated with the humanitarian diplomatic and defence actions, to support France’s political vision for the crisis recovery. It promotes projects inspired by the research community, which can be adjusted during implementation and have strong monitoring and evaluation mechanisms.

PROGRAMME BACKGROUND

 

cONTEXT

Lebanon is home to one of the most vibrant and dynamic civil society in the Middle East. Its organisations work on a wide range of social and technical challenges, from social cohesion to reforestation, with programmatic activities spanning from long term development to humanitarian action. The dynamism of the Lebanese civil society is its ability to regularly create new ambitious organisations or switch from long term thinking to a quick reaction to one of the many periodical crisis that have affected the country. But it must not conceal the fact that most local CSOs are financially dependent of international donors and consequently often structurally weak. This frailty certainly hinders the growth of individual organisations, and when put together it eventually slows down the development at country level of a more robust local civil society.

The present Shabaqa programme seeks to work on both the need for CSOs structural strengthening in Lebanon and in the meantime have these very CSOs implementing improved programmes aimed at reducing vulnerabilities to crisis. The programme is funded by Agence Française de Développement (AFD) and implemented by Expertise France (EF)

Objectives of the programme

The global objective of Shabaqa programme is to:  Strengthen the capacities of Lebanese CSOs to access and implement international grants planned for crisis prevention and management.

The specific objectives of programme are: 

SO1: Strengthen capacities of local CSOs: In this objective an external company will support partners in a long-term process of auto evaluation of their weaknesses and structural needs. EF will then supervise the acquisition by all partners of the knowledge or techniques they need through a capacity building phase or procurement or transfer or expertise.

SO2: Ensure CSOs prove their capacities to implement a project related to reduction of vulnerabilities to crisis: In this objective all partners will directly implement a project related to reduction of vulnerabilities to crisis under the supervision of EF.

SO3: Strengthen CSOs integration into the aid environment. In this objective EF will coordinate various activities at donors & partners level to improve the later capacity to grasp the full potential of what the aid environment has to offer.
