IRC Jordan & Lebanon resilience project 2017-2020

Generally the project has achieved its objectives, as confirmed in the final evaluation, and in some cases it has exceeded the targets. Considering the difficult context with the COVID-19 restrictions, lock-downs etc. and in the case of Lebanon, the Beirut explosion and the loss of value of the Lebanese pound, this must be considered highly satisfactory. The number of targeted direct beneficiaries was 13,696 persons (10,970 individuals). while the total number of indirect beneficiaries were 67,250 persons (53,950 persons individuals). For Lebanon, IRC targeted 3,335 direct- and 15,475 indirect beneficiaries. For Jordan, 10,361 direct beneficiaries were targeted, while 51,775 persons would benefit indirectly from the project. In Lebanon there were multiple project locations, while in Jordan sub-grantees were fewer and concentrated in two urban locations, including the capital city. The targeted project locations in Lebanon were Mount Lebanon, Deir Dalloum in Bekaa Valley and Wadi Khaled in the Northern part of the country close to the Syrian border
