Development of a Framework for Multipurpose Cash Assistance to Improve Aid Effectiveness in Lebanon: Support to the Market Assessment and Monitoring Component

The objective of the three market assessments presented in this report is to provide the interagency cash transfer programming working group (CTPWG) with meaningful and actionable information on the market impact of cash assistance in Lebanon. This report is also intended to inform decision making on scaling up cash interventions, bearing in mind regional specificities, particular market capacities or relative size of the cash program in certain areas. In order to correctly assess potential impact of future assistance, it is essential to have a strong understanding of how these critical market systems are structured, how they operate, the main constraints they face, and how the humanitarian crisis has affected their performance to date.
