Based on observations and feedback from assisted families and communities, dual currency disbursement by WFP and UNHCR in May 2023 was much more efficient than LBP-only disbursement in the first 4 months of the year. Families were able to access their assistance in a quicker, safer, and overall, more dignified manner.

The re-establishment of dual currency redemption for assistance to refugees in May 2023 resulted in significant improvements in terms of ATM functionality, crowding, and waiting time.

Overarching evaluation questions included: Q.1 To what extent is the Joint Program (JP) appropriate and relevant to the creation of favorable conditions for the National Social Protection Strategy revi
