This study seeks to fill the vacuum of knowledge on market functioning in Lebanon. It addresses the observation of an external evaluation report (WFP-ODI, 2015) on insufficient analysis of markets to back specific programme design decisions. In particular, it analyses the micro-level impact for Lebanese traders of three years of market-based food assistance to Syrian refugees by the World Food Programme.
