ORGANIZATIONAL NETWORK
CAMEALEON is NGO-led research and learning network established in 2017 to support the effectiveness and accountability of social assistance for refugees and host communities in Lebanon. It is co-managed by the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC), Oxfam Italy, and Solidarités International (SI), in collaboration with Lebanese and international partners, including academic institutions and think tank.
In its third phase, CAMEALEON uses a soft approach based on learning and advocacy to inform policymaking on social instances in Lebanon. The initiative works closely with the Government of Lebanon, UN agencies, NGOs, and civil society organizations to address evidence gaps and improve social assistance outcomes.

The overall objective of the action is to strengthen the large-scale social assistance responsive for extremely poor and vulnerable Syrian refugees and Lebanese. This is in line with outcome 1 of the EU funding decision in 2021: “Essential needs of refugees and host communities are met”. it is also in line with the strategic objective 2 in the Lebanon Crisis Response Plan 2022-2023 “Provide immediate assistance to vulnerable populations”.

- To increase evidence on the effectiveness of large-scale assistance response in Lebanon
- To increase evidence on the accountability systems of the large-scale social assistance response in Lebanon
- To improve learning on the large-scale social assistance response in Lebanon
The underlying intervention logic of this action is the following : by conducting research and analysis on the social assistance for the Syrian refugees and host population, while contributing to learning, knowledge-sharing and advocacy on large-scale cash and voucher assistance in Lebanon and globally, the large-scale social assistance response for Syrian refugees and poor Lebanese is strengthened.
