Lebanon: LCRP Business Continuity Plan July 2023

Attachments

More than eleven years into the Syria crisis, the continued large-scale presence of refugees in Lebanon and increasing vulnerability of both refugees and host communities is stretching local resources and service capacity to the limit. Since 2019, Lebanon has been facing an unprecedented multi-layered political, economic, financial, and public health crisis that is undermining the subsistence capacity of already vulnerable populations. Individuals and families are falling deeper into poverty due to currency depreciation, high inflation, rising food prices and loss of income. Within this context, it remains critical to ensure continuity of Lebanon Crisis Response Plan (LCRP) operations. The analysis undertaken under the LCRP suggests that a range of risks could further impact the business and programme continuity in 2023. As such, there is a need to continuously update the BCP to enhance LCRP partners’ preparedness and adaptation for the evolution of these risks and mitigate negative impact on operations.
