This evaluation covers the country shelter rehabilitation programme in exchange for 12-months rent- free hosting in support of displaced people from Syria (2011- 2014). The Evaluation addresses one main question: Does the NRC housing rehabilitation approach allow refugees to enjoy their right to adequate housing?

The evaluation will contribute to organisational learning and it is framed within the following objectives:

  • To support learning and provide guidance for future programme direction, especially for what concerns strategy of shelter – ICLA integration in Lebanon;
  • To contribute to an annual learning review which feeds into NRC annual strategic planning processes in Oslo.

The evaluation process was based on a mixed-methods approach, combining qualitative and quantitative methodologies, performing both quantitative and qualitative analysis. The field phase took place in January-February 2015 in Beirut, North (T5) and Bekaa.
