Description: 

The Diakonia Lebanon office is now approaching the end of the current strategy cycle 2016-2020. A new global strategy is being developed that puts the Theory of Change at the center of our work. The first step of the process is for the country office to have a better understanding of the context. This will help Diakonia identify where it has an added value and where it can contribute positively to different change processes in society.
Currently, Diakonia Lebanon works with ten local Partners on five intervention areas: Socio-Economic Justice, Human Rights, Gender Equality, Conflict and Justice, and Emergency Response and Disaster Resilience.

Purpose of the Context Analysis
The purpose of the analysis is to help Diakonia better understand the ongoing change processes in the Lebanese context in order to adjust its strategic direction after 2020.
Objectives and scope of the Analysis
The objective is to collect different perspectives from key stakeholders who work with Diakonia relating to the Lebanese context along with the change processes and drivers. This information is to be consolidated, summarized and validated with the Diakonia team in Lebanon before 10 February 2020.
The outcome document should not exceed 3 pages.
The analysis of the context should explore the below trends:
• Political and institutional context and trends
• Economic and social context and trends
• Environmental context and trends
• Conflict and peace context and trends
• Gender context and trends
• The Civil Society context and trends

Time schedule and deliverables

• Final 2 to 3-page summary of Context Analysis by 10 February 2020.
The final analysis shall be written in English and professionally proofread. The final analysis should have a clear structure and follow the format agreed with Diakonia.
