“…Moreover, HAUS reports of expenditure for chronic and acute illness from 2017 to 2019 similarly varied, suggesting inconsistent findings in our study are not entirely out of place with overall trends over time and mirror the absence of significant impact of MPCs on health expenditures observed in a 2020 impact evaluation of MPCs in Lebanon [ 23 ]. Mixed results were also reported in the 2018 evaluation of Lebanon’s Min Ila cash program for children where expenditures on health for young children (5–9 years) were comparably higher among beneficiary households relative to controls, but differences in health expenditures for children 10–17 years were not significant [ 27 ]. Both small transfer size and variable health needs are potential explanations for the mixed findings on health outcomes associated with MPC in Lebanon.…”

“…The 2017-2020 Lebanon Crisis Response Plan outlines three priority areas: (1) increasing access to and demand for education, (2) increasing quality of education, and (3) strengthening the capacities of governmental and managerial bodies to deliver these goals and monitor progress (GoL & UN, 2020). In light of this plan, the government has moved to waive or subsidize fees for vulnerable children in public schools and forgo the need to prove legal residency status in Lebanon as part of a 'Back to School' campaign launched in 2015 (DeHoop et al, 2019;GoL & UN, 2020;Hamadeh, 2019;Karam et al, 2017).…”

“…The refugee studies included in this systematic review investigated ERE in Syria, Jordan, Lebanon and Palestine, all lower middle‐income countries. Further examination in the use of educational strategies for refugees could be highly valuable for supporting displaced populations, with scholars lament entire generations of children being “lost” to education (viz., de Hoop et al., 2019; Smith, 2018).…”
