EVALUATION OF THE NATIONAL POVERTY TARGETING PROGRAMME (NPTP) IN LEBANON FROM JAN 2019 TO AUG 2023

After 9 years of MoSA, PCM and WFP joint engagement with the NPTP, this evaluation is being commissioned for the following reasons:

– To generate evidence to inform future MoSA and WFP engagement in the future planning, programming, targeting, implementation, and accountability systems for the national social protection system in Lebanon;

– To propose, as needed, actionable and contextualized recommendations on the areas identified above; and

– To provide institutional learning and strengthen the accountability and cooperation between MoSA, PCM, and WFP with the aim to deliver food and basic needs assistance for the most vulnerable Lebanese.

This evaluation will assess and report on the performance and results of the NPTP; and determine the reasons why certain results occurred or did not occur to draw lessons, derive good practices and provide pointers for learning. It will also provide evidence-based findings to inform operational and strategic decision-making. Findings will be actively disseminated and lessons will be incorporated into relevant lesson-sharing systems.
