The project aims to provide insights into the political, economic, and social aspirations of different generations in Lebanon amidst ongoing crises. Interested experts should submit proposals in two phases, with the first phase concluding by the end of March 2025, and a total contract value of £15,000. The tender period ends on 12th January 2025, and the contract period spans from 27th January 2025 to 30th March 2026, with work to be conducted in Lebanon. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in research and consultancy services to expand their portfolio through an impactful project aimed at fostering stability and inclusivity in Lebanon. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are especially suitable for this opportunity. Businesses focusing on political, economic, and social research, and those experienced in international development, governance, and consultancy in complex environments will find this tender particularly aligned with their expertise. The project's objective to influence national dialogue and policy presents an opportunity for impactful work and potential long-term engagement in Lebanon's policy reforms. ## Notice 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.
