Notice Title

WFD Lebanon - Intergenerational Research - Call for Experts

Notice Description

Objective Lebanon has faced a series of crises in recent years, including a financial collapse, the Beirut port explosion, the COVID-19 pandemic, and recent conflict with Israel. These events have deepened pre-existing challenges, leaving the Lebanese population facing an uncertain future in a fragmented and unstable country. In response to these crises and the future polycrisis Lebanon faces, this research aims to explore the intergenerational perspectives of Lebanese people regarding the social contract for future generations. The study will focus on their collective aspirations for a new social contract, examining their visions for political, economic, and social reforms, as well as the fundamental rights they consider essential for a sustainable, just, inclusive and resilient future where the relationship between the state and society is underpinned by trust and participation. The research will provide insights into both shared and divergent perspectives on governance, economic structures, and societal relations, ultimately identifying a path toward a more stable, just, and inclusive Lebanon. The findings will be shared with key stakeholders, including policymakers, members of Parliament, and relevant institutions, to initiate a national dialogue on a resilient social contract for future generations. Specifically, the research will seek to answer the following key questions, which will be refined in collaboration with the selected consultant: 1. What visions for Lebanon's future, in terms of political, economic, and social stability, do the different generations articulate, and where do their views align, diverge, or conflict? 2. How do different generations view the relationship between citizens and the state? How do they believe this should work to best serve their needs and interests? 3. What core values, rights, and principles do the different generations consider essential for a sustainable, just, inclusive and resilient future in Lebanon? 4. What key barriers and opportunities different generations identify as obstacles to implementing a new social contract in Lebanon? The consultant will work in close coordination with WFD's project team to ensure the research process remains adaptive and responsive to any evolving needs or challenges. Interested parties should prepare their proposal in two phases. The first phase is expected to conclude by the end of March 2025 and will begin as soon as possible, with a value of PS15,000. The second phase, subject to funding and contract approval, is expected to last no longer than 12 months, from March 2025 to March 2026. Deliverables 1. An agreed detailed work-plan and methodology for the consultancy 2. Research guide for the project 3. Draft and final written reports providing in-depth analysis and implications of findings Please read the tender notice for a detailed scope of work and more information on how to apply.
