Chapter 15: Health promotion and community participation

The Inter-Agency Nutrition Committees conducted a situation analysis and vulnerability assessment of Syria refugees in terms of conditions in Lebanon. They found that in rural areas there was a lack of basic sanitation and hygiene conditions were poor. The gaps identified included that hygiene promotion activities were implemented in a very limited manner and often in one-off promotion sessions and there was a lack of a coherent and systematic approach.
