Background

DRC is an International non-governmental organisation, which provides protection and promotes durable solutions to refugees and displacement affected populations over the world. In Lebanon specifically, DRC started operations in 2004 with a focus on protection of Palestinian refugees that was then extended to education and livelihood support. Iraqi refugees and Migrant Domestic workers have also been assisted similarly in the past years with the objective to build the capacity of local NGOs.

Since May 2011, DRC has been actively involved in the Lebanon emergency response to the Syrian crisis with presence in the North, East (Bekaa valley) and South of Lebanon. The DRC response is designed around 4 major sectors: Food/NFI distribution, Protection, Shelter and Livelihood support. As such, DRC is positioned in Lebanon as the main implementing partner of UNHCR, WFP, ECHO and DANIDA, implying a rapid expansion of its programme and structure.

To cope with the increasing refugee caseload (300,000 refugees expected by mid-2013) and its multi-sector intervention, DRC is constantly expanding its capacity to cope with the growing volume of activities and a forecast 2013 budget estimated at around 50 million USD.
