Description: 

Project Assistant
Context background
Due to the worsening situation in Syria, the number of displaced persons seeking protection in Lebanon has increased considerably in recent months. Till December 07, 2012, 110’236 refugees were registered with UNHCR - around 41’366 are in contact with UNHCR to be registered. Most of the displaced are hosted by Lebanese families (75%). The rest live in collective shelters. Should the support provided by hosting families stop, displaced families would be on their own, become extremely vulnerable and could not cope with immediate needs (mainly shelter and food).
Lebanese families and communities themselves are struggling with additional charges, especially in housing. The hosting families, initially spontaneously offering refuge to Syrian families, face difficulties in continuing to finance extra costs. In addition, families in Akkar are paying the consequences of the Syrian crisis with considerable reduction in cross-border exchanges (labour and trading) between Lebanon and Syria.
Mada association in cooperation with the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) is since August 2012 implementing a financial support project for Lebanese families and communities in Wadi Khaled and Akroum areas hosting displaced people due to the Syrian crisis. The project assistant will participate in the continuation of the financial support project for families and communities hosting displaced.
