Lebanon Humanitarian Fund - First Standard Allocation Strategy 2022

Strategic Statement

On the basis of the recent findings of sectoral / multisectoral needs assessments highlighting a deteriorating humanitarian situation for all affected population groups, the Lebanon Humanitarian Fund First Standard Allocation 2022 will focus on the scale up of urgent sectoral / multi-sectoral response in areas with severity 4 and 5. In line with the Advisory Board’s vision and the prioritization undertaken by EOC/sectors, priority will be given to areas with a convergence of needs through an area-based approach, supporting all people most in need, regardless of their status.

The allocation will also enable a more accountable, evidence-based and inclusive response by providing funding to partners promoting a) innovation approaches on integrated programming, cash programming, AAP, PSEA and disability); and b) a localized response through additional support, capacity development and dedicated funding for local and national organizations.

The current allocation for a total amount of $16 million, represents the largest LHF allocation to date. Funding will be exclusively for local, national and international NGOs with strong operational presence, flexibility and capacity to scale-up life-saving response
