The needs assessment report is an in-depth and comprehensive background review for relevant rule of law, justice, human rights, and security sector with focus on needs in host communities. It focuses on the community security and access to justice needs of both Syrian refugees and Lebanese host communities. It maps key developments in rule of law, justice, security and human rights, covering main problem-solution issues, challenges, and key actors and tools to be used in UNDP’s rule of law programming from 2016. It also establishes programme baselines against which change resulting from future UNDP programming can be measured.
