CONTEXTE DE TRAVAIL : Outraged by the injustice faced by people with disabilities and vulnerable populations, we aspire to a world of solidarity and inclusion, enriched by our differences, where everyone can live in dignity. Handicap International is an independent and impartial aid and development organisation working in situations of poverty and exclusion, conflict and disaster. We work alongside disabled and vulnerable people to help meet their essential needs, improve their living conditions and promote respect for their dignity and fundamental rights. For further information about the association: http://www.handicap-international.us Present in more than 55 countries, Handicap International is composed of 2 operational directions: - The Direction of Humanitarian Action - The Direction of Development Action MISSION CONTEXT Five years into the civil war, the Syrian conflict continues unabated. With up to 6.6 million Syrians internally displaced and an estimated 13.5 million requiring assistance, the humanitarian and protection needs in the country keep growing at a dramatic rate. The protracted nature of the conflict is also exacerbating the destabilizing effects of the crisis in neighboring countries, stretching the resources and services of hosting communities to the limit and fueling social and political tensions in the region. Out of the 4.8 million registered Syrian refugees almost 1.1 million are hosted in Lebanon, representing 25% of the country’s current population for the highest ratio of refugees per capita in the world. Lebanon, which has also received around 35,000 Lebanese returnees and 42,000 Palestinian refugees from Syria aside from an undetermined number of non-registered Syrian refugees, is precariously coping with a population increase of around 37% over the last 5 years. Although the restrictive border policies imposed in early 2015 have virtually blocked new influx the living conditions of Syrian refugees in the country, as well as those of vulnerable Lebanese and Palestinians, continue to deteriorate. This deteriorating situation is disproportionally affecting communities in the most deprived areas of the country, chiefly in Bekaa, Baalbak-Hermel, North and Akkar Governorates, in which the high concentration of refugees is compounded with pre-existing economic, social and political challenges and chronic deficiencies in services and infrastructures.
