Emergency Response Plan
In response to the escalating armed conflict in Lebanon, ABAAD has activated an emergency response focused on two core pillars: GBV service provision for conflict-affected communities, and technical capacity building for frontliners. ABAAD is leveraging its grassroots presence and over 14 years of expertise to deliver life-saving protection services across collective shelters and displacement-affected communities nationwide.
The response integrates gender audits in collective shelters, psychosocial support, GBV case management, emergency safe sheltering for high-risk survivors, community mobilization, and capacity building for frontline responders. Services are delivered in-person and remotely in alignment with access constraints and the evolving security situation. ABAAD is also leveraging its national resource centre mandate to strengthen the broader protection ecosystem through technical assistance and coordination with the Protection Cluster and GBV Sub-Cluster.
