Key takeaway As Lebanon enters a profound re-escalation of hostilities, the operating environment has rapidly reverted to the conflict dynamics observed in 2024.
Why this matters
The study's findings on the impact of economic development interventions in Lebanon take on heightened significance given the country's renewed descent into conflict. As the operating environment reverts to crisis dynamics, Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) are likely to struggle with market isolation, supply chain disruption, and limited access to finance. The assessment's analysis of past crisis responses and entrepreneurs' survival strategies can inform ongoing and future development programming, potentially guiding more effective support for enterprises navigating Lebanon's compounding economic, security, and political crises. The mixed-methods approach, combining surveys, focus group discussions, and key informant interviews, provides a comprehensive understanding of the challenges faced by MSMEs and the efficacy of CESVI's interventions in strengthening enterprise adaptability and restabilization. As the conflict escalates, the insights from this study can help humanitarian organizations and donors refine their strategies to support enterprises and promote economic resilience in Lebanon.
