Joint Evaluation: Collective Site Management and Coordination (CSMC) in Informal Tented Settlements (ITSs) - Lebanon

The purpose of this evaluation is to provide evidence based information on the effectiveness and connectedness of the CSMC response in Lebanon.

Since 2013, humanitarian agencies in Lebanon have been implementing Collective Site Management and Coordination (CSMC) programmes. The CSMC aims to ensure that refugees are protected and assisted effectively by plaing a role in building the capacity of refugees who are resident in the collective sites and in linking them to the local authorities, service providers and the surrounding neighbourhood. Seven agencies implement CSMC programmes in Lebanon and three participate in this evaluation; Concern Worldwide, Organisation B and the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC).

The purpose of the evaluation is to provide Concern, Organisation B, and NRC (as well as the wider CSMC Task Force and its stakeholders) with evidence based information on the effectiveness and connectedness of the CSMC response, its appropriateness to the context, and recommendations for future implementation.
