M&E Assistant- Protection Project

About Amel Association International

Amel Association International (Amel) is a Lebanese and non-sectarian NGO created in 1979. Amel works through 32 centers, 6 mobile medical units, 2 mobile education units and 1 protection unit, and for more than 40 years has supported the poorest regions of Lebanon, from Beirut and its South Suburbs to Mount Lebanon, Bekaa and South Lebanon. Amel offers accessible services for all in the following fields: food security, health, education, protection, child protection, gender-based violence, livelihood, promotion and protection of human rights and rural development.

Background:

The project aims to support a favourable protection environment for refugees and host communities.  Through two Community Development Centers (CDCs), Amel will implement community empowerment activities, manage and train Outreach Volunteers (OVs), and build the capacity of refugees and host communities through skills and life skills training. Through the community-based interventions, Amel will ensure that refugees will also have access to timely and accurate information and will be involved in informing UNHCR programme design.

This project also aims to contribute towards prevention of spreading of COVID-19, Cholera, H1N1, and other transmittable diseases and avoiding uncontrolled transmission in the refugee communities through Rapid Response Teams (RRT) and other community outreach activities.

The project also aims to reduce the Gender Based Violence (GBV) related risks and to ensure that GBV survivors have access to timely, safe, and quality services and continuous prevention and risk mitigation interventions. Through a survivor-centred approach, Amel will provide service for GBV survivors or at risk of exposure to GBV, with a focus on women and girls from both the refuge and host communities in the targeted areas. Provided services will include timely and quality case management, cash assistance, psycho-social activities, and awareness-raising activities. The project will be implemented in Haret Hreik, and Ain El Remmaneh and will reach in total 20 000 instances of participation in 2023.

Moreover, safe spaces for women and girls within the CDCs will be supported through life skills, skills building (vocational), learning activities, awareness sessions recreational activities and among other community-based initiatives will be implemented. These services will complement protection activities by increasing the umbrella of protection services; and increase the focus on the marginalized groups who are most affected by the current deterioration of situation and life conditions.
