Leading Data Collection for a WFP Study with Syrian Refugees |
WFP Lebanon plans to conduct a comparative evaluation to inform future WFP programming decisions by gaining an understanding of how different transfer modalities (i.e. cash and voucher) impact household food security and other livelihood outcomes, coping strategies, spending patterns, beneficiary preferences, protection and gender issues and the efficiency of the different modalities in ensuring food security for refugee households. For this purpose, Information International conducted a Midline and end line surveys with ~1,300 households each- evenly distributed across the three intervention groups (i.e. ~425 households per intervention group) and randomly sampled in locations across the governorates- to document differences in spending patterns, food security, other livelihood outcomes, and coping strategies between three groups of households: those that receive e-vouchers, those that withdraw cash from ATMs and those that have the choice of either approach. Moreover, 16 Focus group discussions were conducted to understand gender and protection considerations associated with each delivery mechanism, including effects on intra-household decision-making, spending patterns, coping strategies, perceptions of risk and contextual factors that may affect program implementation. |

Crossing the Religious Divide: An Experiment on Deliberation and Inter-Sectarian Cooperation in Lebanon |
The aim of the project is to establish under what conditions individuals from different religious confessions might be encouraged to cooperate with one another in the context of simulated elections. 360 participants from Beirut (180 Sunni and 180 Shia’a) aged between 18-64 years will be split at random into groups of six: 3 Sunni and 3 Shia’a in every group. Five groups/tables of six will participate in the project in a given session, with a total of 12 sessions to be conducted. Prior to the simulated elections, some groups of participants will be shown a 20-30 minute video of a discussion among experts on the benefits of inter-sectarian cooperation. Some groups of participants will also have a chance to engage in a discussion about inter-sectarian cooperation following the video. Some participants will be offered money in secret by election brokers to only support candidates of the same religious confession as the participant. This study design will provide an opportunity to measure the effect of exposure to an expert discussion on inter-sectarian cooperation (and subsequent group discussion) on the participants’ willingness to (i) accept money to vote for candidates from the same religious group as them, to (ii) support political candidates from a different sectarian group, and (iii) engage in other-regarding allocation behavior in distributive games. |

Baseline Survey for the Impact Evaluation Graduation Pilot of Lebanon’s National Poverty Targeting Program (NPTP-G) |
This impact evaluation exercise aims to assess whether the package of services provided by NPTP-G has an impact on beneficiary households in terms of sustainable increases in consumption, income, and overall relative poverty levels. In order to estimate the impact(s) of the NPTP-G, a treatment group will be randomly selected from the targeted NPTP-G households (675 HHs), which will receive the complete NPTP-G package of services. One beneficiary member will be chosen by his or her households (i.e. non-randomly selected) to benefit from the entire package of services. This selected HH member will be asked questions that pertain to the entire household as well as questions at the individual-level. In cases where the identified member is a male, a second HH member that is female will be selected to benefit from different types of trainings offered and their data will be collected as well for certain modules of the questionnaire. The comparison group will also be randomly selected from the targeted NPTP-G (675 HHs, which will receive the e-card food voucher but not the complete NPTP-G package of services; one member (as chosen by their households) will be selected to answer questions at both of the household and individual levels. |
