“…DAC members also are important actors in their own right. The DAC Recommendation on the Humanitarian-Development-Peace Nexus specifically recognises this, stating that "a more coherent and coordinated effort that strengthens complementarity across the 'nexus' must involve a central role for OECD-DAC members in their collaboration with the multilateral system" (OECD DAC, 2019 [62]).…”

This paper analyses official development assistance (ODA) to the 57 fragile contexts in the 2020 OECD fragility framework. ODA is a crucial, reliable resource for these fragile contexts and an indispensable part of their journey to sustainable development and peace. Development Assistance Committee (DAC) members spent 63% of their net, country-allocable ODA in these contexts in 2018. Striving to protect this ODA, especially in light of the economic consequences of coronavirus (COVID-19), will be important to maintain sustainable development progress in fragile contexts as the 'Decade of Action' begins for Agenda 2030.

“… In 2014, the government, for instance, introduced an annual fee of USD 200 for residency permits (Janmyr, 2016[39]), making it difficult for refugees to live legally in Lebanon. 6 In January 2015, new restrictions on the entry and legal status of Syrian nationals were passed 7 , resulting in limited access to the country and to residence permits 8 and the Lebanese government requested UNHCR to suspend the registration of all Syrian nationals in May 2015 (UN-Habitat and UNHCR, 2018 [40]). More than 74 percent of registered Syrian refugees did not have legal status by May 2017 (UNHCR, UNICEF, WFP, 2018 [34]).…”

In 2017, the residency fee was waived for those eligible to a residency based on their registration with UNHCR, and provided they never had a residency based on sponsorship, making eligibility for the fee waiver more difficult and adding another obstacle towards a legal stay 7.…”

Comments on this Working Paper are welcome and may be sent to dac.contact@oecd.org -Development Co-ordination Directorate, OECD, AbstractThis study investigates transition finance in Lebanon, an upper-middle income country in the MENA region transitioning from a significant adverse shock. Lebanon's development path has been historically nonlinear and, most recently, the Syrian conflict adversely affected the country's development path. The Syrian conflict compounded pre-existing deficits and challenges in Lebanon, calling for increased international assistance. DAC donors increased official development assistance (ODA) to Lebanon to preserve stability and promote refugee protection. Donors also created special financing instruments such as the Global Concessional Financing Facility (GCFF) to foster the provision of multilateral concessional financing to Lebanon. Official development finance in Lebanon is high in comparison to its peers, particularly on a per capita basis and for humanitarian assistance. The country also attracts high amounts of FDI and remittances. Overall, domestic credit dominates the financing landscape and public debt is high. DAC members and other donors can strengthen the humanitarian-development-peace nexus, address longstanding country needs to promote self-sufficiency, and re-design partnerships driven by mutual accountability and appropriate incentive structures.
