How to apply
Call for Expression of Interest documents can be found on the Partner Portal: https://www.unpartnerportal.org/landing/opportunities/
UNHCR Lebanon is advertising five Calls for Expression of Interest, one for each of its offices in Beirut (Country Office), BML (Beirut & Mount Lebanon), Tripoli (North Lebanon), Tyre (South Lebanon), and Zahle (Bekaa) to cover the entire duration of UNHCR’s multi-year strategy 2023-2025. Each EOI consists of several projects that the UNHCR offices have decided to implement through partnership agreements. Capacity allowing, applicants may apply for any number of projects across all regions.
Applicants are required to submit a separate Concept Note for every project they are interested to implement in partnership with UNHCR. The Concept Note is primarily for an agency to express its unique advantage and added value for the Project objectives. The Concept Note is intended to allow the agency to:
Describe how the proposed project will achieve its expected outcome;
Demonstrate the unique advantage, distinctive technical capacity, strengths and past experiences it would bring to the partnership for realizing the desired outcome of the Project;
Describe the activities, methodology and implementation approach for realizing the desired outcome of the Project;
Estimate the total cost of the project, including total funding to be requested from UNHCR, the organization’s contribution (financial and/or in‐kind) as well as any contributions by other donors, and
Demonstrate its complementariness to UNHCR's capacities and resources for the Project.
The Concept Note should not be a fully developed project document and should be concise, contain clear information and not exceed three pages. Once the best-fit partner is selected, negotiations and discussions on the project design and plan will be initiated and the Concept Note will be further developed into a detailed Project Partnership Agreement. Organizations who are not selected for implementation of a given project, but managed to prove capacity for implementation may be pre-selected for a roster for prospective partnership, and may be called for partnership in the duration of the multi-year strategy in case of change or expansion of activities.
Applicants are also required to complete and submit one copy of the Organizational Capacity Review for every EOI. Submission of one Organizational Capacity Review per EOI is sufficient, irrespective of the number of projects the organization is applying for. The Organizational Capacity Review provides UNHCR with an overview of the applicants internal financial, management, procurement and PSEA capacity systems. Applicants are responsible to ensure that information provided through the Organizational Capacity Review is accurate. Applicants must also agree that all data provided in the Organizational Capacity Review can be verified and validated by UNHCR prior to or after selection for partnership.
All submissions and annexes should be submitted to the UN Partner Portal: https://www.unpartnerportal.org/. The UN Partner Portal allows an upload of only one file. Therefore, for submissions with several documents, place all documents in a folder, zip the folder and upload the zipped file. Applicants facing technical issues in submitting Concept Notes on the portal are required to address queries to: [email protected] .
Open-house Sessions
UNHCR Offices will hold group sessions with interested organizations to provide further information and answer questions. Questions and answers raised during the group sessions will be posted via the UN Partner Portal for transparency and accessibility to all applicants. Below are the pre-defined dates for all the sessions. Applicants are required to register through the following form: https://bit.ly/3AKBZpJ
