COVID-19 multi-sectoral needs assessment
Plan International Lebanon’s multi-sectoral needs assessment is designed to determine priority needs and risks as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak in Lebanon.
Specifically, the assessment looks at the impact of coronavirus across sectors, and covers the following governorates where Plan International currently implements programmes:
- Akkar
- North Lebanon
- Nabatieh
- South Lebanon
- Baalbek-Hermel.
Data was collected from 13 – 17 April 2020 through remote surveys with a total of 620 caregivers and 498 adolescent girls and boys.
The surveyed population is equally divided between female and male respondents and between Syrian and Lebanese populations in each of the governorates in order to gain evidence on the unique risks to each group.
The report presents insightful findings on the effects of the COVID-19 outbreak, highlighting data collected on COVID-19 knowledge, health, water, sanitation and hygiene, protection, education, food security and livelihoods, shelter, movement and digital access.
It shows how the pandemic has severely impacted both vulnerable Lebanese and Syrian refugees at a time when the country is experiencing its worst economic crisis in years.
The outbreak is also compounding gender inequalities, with alarming effects on adolescent girls who are often struggling with “invisible” consequences on their lives.
Finally, the report provides recommendations for various actors to take into account when planning or implementing a response to ensure that the needs of the most affected groups, including adolescent girls, are met.
