VISION
To establish a link between emergency, rehabilitation and development, and interventions to cover the multiple aspects of humanitarian and development crises through a multidisciplinary approach which is both global and local, and adapted to each context.
IN LEBANON
ACTED has been in Lebanon since 2006, rapidly expanding its operations in 2013 to mitigate the impact of the Syrian refugee crisis on vulnerable populations in Lebanon. ACTED’s team of over 100 national and international staff members are providing assistance to people in Beirut, Baabda, Metn, Keserwane, Jbeil, and Akkar.
ACTED’s humanitarian interventions aim to ensure that the basic needs of vulnerable refugee and host community households are met through integrated WASH and shelter assistance, as well as through the provision of conditional and unconditional cash transfers to the most vulnerable.
ACTED supports the efforts of hosting communities and local stakeholders that are affected by the crisis in ensuring continued provision of basic services to an increased population, as well as maintaining social cohesion. Finally, through the REACH initiative, a global partnership with Impact Initiatives and UNOSAT, information management, assessment and mapping services are provided to the humanitarian community. |
