Since 2019, the severe economic crisis in Lebanon has plunged a large portion of the population into poverty. Over the last decade, poverty has more than tripled, reaching 44% in 2022. Many families were forced to adopt negative coping strategies such as reducing food consumption and withdrawing children from school due to inadequate government support. To alleviate the socio-economic vulnerability of poor Lebanese families, Mercy Corps implemented the "Services and Assistance for Enabling Recovery" (SAFER) program from December 2022 to February 2024. Under the SAFER program, Mercy Corps distributed multi-purpose cash assistance (MPCA) transfers of USD 150 per household per month to 1,251 vulnerable families in the Bekaa region, along with financial management and coaching for 350 participants. The SAFER program improved food security and reduced poverty among participants but fell short of providing sustainable pathways to maintain families out of poverty. During the program duration, employment rates declined due to factors like underemployment and business closures. This evaluation aimed to assess the impact of SAFER assistance on promoting livelihood pathways, identify family profiles likely to achieve selfreliance, understand factors affecting livelihood opportunities, explore the role of MPCA and financial training, and identify complementary activities for future phases. Using a predominantly qualitative approach supplemented by secondary data, the study collected primary data through in-depth interviews with participants and key informants. It focused on capturing participants' perspectives, identifying factors that empowered or hindered their journey to self-sufficiency, and defining secure livelihoods.
