CONTEXT
Lebanon is welcoming at least 1.1 million refugees in the country, most of which have settled in areas which already face challenges and with high proportion of poverty within its host population. This massive wave of refugees has put additional pressure on Lebanon and its fragile services and infrastructures. The nearby conflict has also disturbed part of the Lebanese economy including its trade.
While most of the response to the Syrian crisis in Lebanon has focused until today on covering the immediate needs of the most vulnerable households, more sustainable and independent sources of Livelihoods are necessarily to enable host and refugee communities to live with dignity.
SOLIDARITES INTERNATIONAL (SI) has been present in Lebanon since 2013, working mainly in the North part of the country with WASH, Shelter, Outreach, Community mobilization and cash-based programming. It invested early on in its information system in order give itself the means to work better and faster, to reduce its data management workload and to extend its reach regarding IM in general, for better quality programming and activity piloting. Innovating by experimenting internally and developing directly with its teams a first version of its centralized database, SI is looking at capitalizing on all consented efforts by now implementing a comprehensive program information system called SASIL. In order to get there, it launched mid 2017 an IM intervention and recruited a coordinator to oversee it.
