Description
Summary:In terms of education, 250,000 Syrian refugees of school age remain out of any kind of educational system. [...]the rapid and increased demand for social services and infrastructure continues to fuel grievances between both communities and has dramatically affected their capacity to attain decent livelihoods. [...]far, the Lebanese government's lack of leadership and its well-thought political economy machine on refugees certainly portray several weaknesses among elite members to 'respond' to critical circumstances on the ground. For many, any intention to disrupt the balance and favor one religious group over the other is usually a 'deal breaker' that creates fears among Lebanese. Besides the complex circumstances of the Lebanese domestic political spectrum, the current politics of aid donation from partners to Lebanon might be undermining state authority, as most assistance is usually provided to non-state actors given known cases of corruption, lack of accountability, and good governance. [...]donors and partners must understand and treat foreign assistance as a highly-political move that carries several consequences and far-reaching implications for Lebanon.
