REQUEST FOR QUOTATION FOR THE PROVISION OF POST-RETURN EXPERIENCE AND REINTEGRATION PATHWAYS: SYRIAN RETURNEES (IDP, JORDAN AND LEBANON REFUGEE RETURNEES) CONSULTANCY SERVICE

[RFQ/MENA/26/005]

Following the fall of the Assad government in December 2024, the pace of return movements from Jordan and Lebanon has accelerated. While humanitarian actors have invested significantly in tracking intentions to return and return movements, far less is known about what actually happens after return, and almost nothing has been systematically documented about what enables successful, sustainable reintegration as opposed to what causes it to fail.

This evidence gap has direct programmatic consequences. INGOs operating in Syria's return areas are making decisions about reception support, livelihood programming, shelter, and community cohesion with limited grounding in the lived experiences of returnees themselves. We lack qualitative evidence that would allow better identification of what works- the conditions, assets, relationships, and support mechanisms that returnees themselves associate with positive reintegration pathways and outcomes - distinct from cataloguing barriers and protection risks.

This research piece would address that gap with an explicit solutions orientation: the primary analytical question is what successful early reintegration looks like and how we can support more of it, rather than what is going wrong for returnees.

This study is designed as a pilot, with strong programmatic utility, while generating the evidence base and case for a broader multi-site phase 2, which could be fundraised for. This study is intended to complement rather than duplicate existing quantitative intention surveys including UNHCR's ePRIS and complement work led by the Solutions Working Group inside Syria and the various Durable Solutions coordination architectures that exist at country and regional level. This study is designed as a pilot to provide both a standalone evidence contribution and the foundation for a potential phase 2 study across two to three additional governorates, inclusion of a re-displaced secondary sample (both inside Syria and cross-border movements back to Lebanon), measuring the distinction between rural areas supported with humanitarian programming;  and a longitudinal follow-up component.
