Evidence snapshot for Lebanon
Lebanon hosts interventions addressing mental health, education, and economic resilience among Syrian refugees and host communities. Step-by-Step demonstrated that a redesigned digital mental health app tripled depression treatment response (37.1% vs 13.3%) in a randomized trial of 569 displaced Syrians, and has since been integrated into Lebanon's national mental health system. On education, Unlocking Learning scaled from 246 students across 3 centres in 2019 to 7,237 students across 64 non-formal education centres by 2020, while Madristi reached 400,000 public-school students and 50,000 teachers (though without published independent evaluation of learning outcomes). MENNA trained over 1,000 women in handicraft and food production, with 300+ now selling through a permanent Beirut shop, though income and employment impacts lack rigorous measurement.
