Partners
UNHCR ensures the implementation of project activities through either direct implementation or partnerships with partners.
UNHCR Lebanon currently has 28 partners: 16 national NGOs, 8 international NGOs and 4 United Nations agencies.
All partners were selected in line with UNHCR’s policy on Procedures on Partnership Management explained in the UNHCR Programme Handbook for Partners, to ensure identification of the best-fit partners for project implementation in a given operation, in order to provide quality protection and assistance to refugees and other persons of concern. UNHCR offices, through a multi-functional team approach, undertake adequate due diligence and conduct the process of selection/retention of partners in an objective, consistent, transparent and timely manner.
In line with UNHCR’s Enhanced Framework for Implementing with Partners, UNHCR launched a “Partner Portal” in 2016. The Partner Portal is a web-based, innovative, and interactive tool for enhanced communication between UNHCR and partners on project partnerships. All partners or prospective partners of UNHCR are requested to register through the Partner Portal to receive updates on UNHCR’s policy, procedures and guidance relating to partner implementation, to inform UNHCR about their organizations, to participate in calls for expression of interest for projects, and/or to enter into partnerships with UNHCR.

UNHCR’s partners work in different locations, covering Beirut, Mount Lebanon, Bekaa, South and North. They cover different sectors, such as Protection, Child protection, SGBV, Health, Education, Basic assistance, Social stability, and Shelter.
