In order to respond to this gap in a
comprehensive manner, there is a need to address access to basic urban services
and the built environment in the gatherings as part of their wider context. Using
conflict-sensitive principles, the project will build on the already existing
structures and bottom-up approach established to bring the different local
actors together including municipalities, local committees in the gatherings
and NGOs. This approach will address adverse effects of connected networks,
bring in different actors together, and create a space for coordination and
cooperation to face common challenges.
Interventions will include:
Output 1: Access
to basic urban services improved in host gatherings through the implementation
of infrastructure projects and service interventions, taking into account the
impact on and connections with surrounding networks.
Output 2: Environmental
conditions of shelter units housing Palestinian and Syrian refugees from Syria
enhanced in the host gatherings.
Output 3: National
database on living conditions in Palestinian gatherings developed and
maintained through support to the Lebanese – Palestinian Dialogue Committee
(LPDC).
At least 30,000 original dwellers and
25,000 refugees from Syria will have access to improved basic urban services
and some 275 refugee households (estimated 2,000 refugees) in the most
vulnerable gatherings will benefit from enhanced shelter conditions enhanced.
In addition, interventions to enhance access to basic urban services in the
gatherings will target the surrounding municipal networks, benefiting some
20,000 Lebanese inhabitants.
