Work context:

Cesvi has been working in Lebanon since 2001 in different areas: North Lebanon (Tripoli, Halba); South Lebanon (Sidon); Mount Lebanon (Chouf); Nabatîyé (Nabatîyé); Beqaa (Zahlé); Beirut (Beirut). All the Cesvi projects – funded by institutional donors and private foundations – in the livelihood sector, food security and emergency assistance have a crosscutting component in protection. From 2006 to 2010Cesvi’s efforts in the country were devoted to improve the social needs of the populations boosting the employment of youngsters, especially women, promoting micro entrepreneurship through the creation of incubation services inside the Municipalities and encouraging local development.
Since 2013 Cesvi has been responding to the spill-over of the Syrian Crisis working in Livelihood and Protection sectors in close collaboration with local partners, CSOs, local authorities and other stakeholders. Cesvi’s strategy has been moving from a first emergency response to the impact of Syrian crisis in the country toward a medium-term development intervention. Initially Cesvi has responded to the most compelling socio-economic needs of Syrian refugees and Lebanese host communities through cash for work activities able to generate a temporary income. Currently, Cesvi is adopting a more structural approach with the aim of fostering socio-economic inclusion of vulnerable people transferring vocational skills to develop their abilities, build their knowledge and support the access to the labour market.
