• Description:
• Tenders are invited for Building a Cash plus Response in Lebanon The Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) is an independent humanitarian organisation helping people forced to flee. We deliver high-quality aid where needs are greatest. Today, we work in both new and protracted crises across 35 countries, where we provide camp management, food assistance, clean water, shelter, legal aid, and education. Today, a record 82.4 million people are fleeing war and persecution. Not since World War Two have more people needed our help. The Norwegian Refugee Council assisted almost 12 million people worldwide in 2020, and with your support, we can help even more. In addition to growing MPC recipient numbers, the transfer value of MPC for each recipient household rose in 2020 in response to inflation and the rising cost of items in the SMEB, including food items. At the start of 2020, cash for food and food vouchers amounted to 40,500 LBP per person per month. By the end of 2020 and as of August 2021, cash for food is 100,000 LBP per person per month. This amount was capped by the Ministry of Social Affairs (MoSA) until September 2021 and has now been raised to 300,000 LBP per person per month. Monthly multi-purpose cash assistance was previously 262,500 LBP per month per family at the start of 2020 and by the end and current year, the amount was capped by MoSA at 400,000 LBP until August 2021. The UN has recently concluded talks with MoSA to raise both amounts to stay more aligned with continually rising prices. MPC as of September 2021 is 800,000 LBP per household. The cap was in place by MoSA due to concerns about social tensions over the declining value of salaries in LBP. Assistance for Lebanese households include support through the National Poverty Targeting Programme (NPTP) and WFP that provides food vouchers for the poorest 34,000 households at 200,000 LBP per household per month. This project has scaled up since May 2021 to go up to an estimated 75,000 households by November 2021. NPTP beneficiaries can be referred to additional services provided by MoSA or NGOs contracted by MoSA through their Social Development Centres however referrals to external services are not provided. Building on this programme, a project created by the Government of Lebanon supported by the World Bank to provide a cash safety net and increase access to services called the Emergency Social Safety Net (ESSN) would support 162,000 households to receive multi-purpose cash grants as mentioned above.
