Each year, UNHCR and key actors conducts structured dialogue—Participatory Assessments (PA)—with women, men, boys and girls of diverse backgrounds to understand the risks they face and to seek their suggested solutions. The outcomes are intended to inform UNHCR programmes and activities.
Between November and December 2023, UNHCR Lebanon and eight partners engaged 200 refugees in 22 focus group discussions and two semi-structured interviews. The 2023 PA centers on community participation, self-help, and self-management, with the aim to understand how refugees organize themselves (as individuals and groups) and barriers (and opportunities) to address priority issues.
