General Background<br>According to government estimates, Lebanon hosts approximately 900,000 displaced refugees from Syria and other countries. Despite gradual improvements in some socioeconomic indicators, humanitarian needs remain significant. The 2025 Vulnerability Assessment of Syrian Refugees (VASyR) found that 72 per cent of refugee families live below the poverty line, with 60 per cent living in extreme poverty. <br>UNHCR implements a diverse portfolio of cash assistance programmes covering basic needs, protection, education, and solutions-oriented interventions. These programmes generate significant volumes of operational, financial, monitoring, and vulnerability data that inform programme design and strategic decision making. The largest of these is the regular Multipurpose Cash Assistance (MPCA) programme, which provides monthly support to vulnerable refugee households and serves as a key source of evidence and insights on household vulnerability, expenditure patterns, programme outcomes, and targeting effectiveness.<br>Cash assistance is delivered through a coordinated inter-agency approach led jointly by UNHCR and WFP. The regular MPCA programme is implemented in close partnership with WFP, ensuring a coordinated and efficient response that maximizes coverage of vulnerable refugee households while generating valuable operational and analytical insights.<br> <br>In addition to implementing its own programmes, UNHCR co-leads the Lebanon Cash Working Group (CWG). Through the CWG, UNHCR works with UN agencies, NGOs, donors, and government counterparts to promote harmonized approaches to targeting, transfer values, delivery mechanisms, monitoring, accountability, and data sharing. <br>Given the scale of needs and increasingly constrained resources, robust evidence generation and targeting systems are critical to ensuring assistance reaches those most in need timely.
