The project seeks to conduct a field-based analysis in Lebanon in order to better understand how multi-year planning and funding impacts field realities and beneficiary populations in regards to humanitarian assistance. Also, this analysis examines best practices and challenges faced by the humanitarian organizations and donors involved through their direct experience.

Project activities include: (1) gathering data and empirical evidence to map out multi-year funding in Lebanon; (2) consulting stakeholders to identify challenges and good practices for multi-year humanitarian funding; and (3) supporting the logistics and organization of a global workshop with key stakeholders on multi-year humanitarian funding.
