Research to Identify the Optimal Operational Set-up for Multi-Actor Provision of Unconditional Cash Grants to Syrian Refugees in Lebanon: Final report and recommendation

This report contains the findings and recommendations from a 30 day research project commissioned by the cash working group (CWG) based in Lebanon, and more specifically the team tasked with the operational set-up. The Avenir research project team was engaged to identify the optimal operational set-up for multi-actor provision of unconditional cash grants to Syrian refugees in Lebanon.

The aim of the project is to produce practical, operational recommendations for future adjustments and actions that can be used by agencies who will be involved in cash transfer programming (CTP) for unconditional cash assistance. Operational set-up in this case has been defined as “the management, financial, administrative, data management and data interaction processes, standard operating procedures and the necessary support systems to run a CTP.”
