PURPOSE OF POSITION:

ARK is a Lebanon-based development consultancy committed to empowering local communities and beneficiaries in conflict, post-conflict, and fragile areas through the provision of evidence-based programmatic interventions, policy recommendations and training services.

ARK’s approach relies on combining mixed-methods research with strong, consistent engagement with local communities and stakeholders to bridge the gap between the aspirations of local communities and the priorities of governmental and multilateral actors, thus informing the design and implementation of relevant programming. Utilising innovative quantitative and qualitative social science methodologies to generate data, we analyse and synthesise results, brief clients and beneficiaries, deliver interventions and measure impact.

ARK is delivering on behalf of HMG a youth programme in Lebanon in support of Palestinian youth. This programme will improve their social participation whilst reducing the likelihood of young Palestinians resorting to negative coping strategies. Whilst this position is subject to funding, ARK is currently delivering this programme, which has been underway for a number of years.

The highly innovative, Palestinian-designed programme has delivered demonstrable impact within the camps and contributed to both Palestinian welfare and the stability of Lebanon.
