Call For Proposals: Informal adaptive mechanisms: Understanding adaptation, resilience, and agency in securing livelihoods in the informal economy among refugees from Syria in Lebanon and Jordan

Call

The Issam Fares Institute is seeking proposals for the project, "Informal adaptive mechanisms: Understanding adaptation, resilience, and agency in securing livelihoods in the informal economy among refugees from Syria in Lebanon and Jordan". Supported by the Ford Foundation, the project aims to understand the various adaptive mechanisms adopted by refugees from Syria in Lebanon and Jordan to overcome the challenges and barriers they face in securing their livelihoods in the informal economy in Lebanon and Jordan, by exploring the influence of different dimensions, such as legality, temporality, social networks, connectedness, and geography, among others, on the emergence of these mechanisms. Grants awarded will depend on the scope of the research proposed and the number of grants awarded. Proposals will be accepted in English or Arabic.
