Highlights
When striving to shape social development, change behaviors and improve the lives of the approximately 6 million people living in Lebanon, a country hosting more refugees per capita than any other country in the world – a starting point is understanding perceptions and culture. In other words, mapping the terrain before navigating.
The Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice (KAP) survey, which forms the basis of UNICEF's and the Government of Lebanon's action plan until 2020; addresses demand creation, individual and social behavior change which is an area that is all too often neglected.
According to UNICEF Lebanon’s estimations, approximately 630,000 Syrian refugee children, 470,000 Lebanese children, and 120,000 Palestine refugee children are affected by the Syrian crisis.
UNICEF spoke to policymakers and practitioners. We visited 7,000 households, Syrian, Lebanese and Palestinian - to be able to mend what's broken in children's lives concerning rights, protection, welfare, education, and inclusion.
This is the first cross-program KAP study in Lebanon, and it clearly shows what deserves a stronger focus. The findings are a platform for change – or call it a map if you like – that gives clear guidance to our interventions in the coming years.
The primary purpose of the KAP study has been to obtain current estimates of key indicators measuring knowledge, attitudes, and practices for each of UNICEF Lebanon's priority areas, except for youth, as UNICEF will undertake a separate study dedicated to youth.
