Between 4 March and 9 April 2025, UNHCR and partners* met with close to 600 women, men, youth, female-headed households, older persons and persons with disabilities covering all governorates in Lebanon. Outreach Volunteers, Disabled People Organizations and other community-based organizations were also consulted. The aim was to seek the community’s views on returns and “Go and See” visits in order to inform the design of progammes and activities. The community dialogue is one of the many ways UNHCR ensures that your feedback informs decision-making.
The report provides a summary of the feedback provided, especially around:
- Current return practices, trends and intentions
- Drivers influencing return decision-making
- Community reflections on “Go and See” visits
- Community capacities and initiatives supporting return
- Return information needs and preferred information channels
The report concludes with a set of recommendations that community dialogue participants suggested to UNHCR and partners.
