- Fadi Nicholas Nassar
Through the combination of a nationwide survey of 1,201 respondents and 18 focus group sessions totaling 111 civil society organizations (CSOs), this report examines: 1) public perceptions regarding aspects of the port blast and the economic crisis, as well as on recovery, reform, and reconstruction; and 2) CSO assessments on the experience of what is known as the Lebanon Reform, Recovery, and Reconstruction Framework (3RF), to help inform recommendations for improvement and lessons learned for the nationwide expansion of the 3RF.
