The Lebanon Humanitarian INGO Forum (LHIF) is an independent coordinating body comprised of International NGOs who are working to address the humanitarian needs of refugees and vulnerable Lebanese communities throughout Lebanon. The purpose of LHIF is to help our members undertake their humanitarian work more efficiently through better coordination and to provide a venue for effectively addressing key issues of common interest. LHIF is an egalitarian forum where all members have an equal voice in decision-making. An elected Steering Committee represents the LHIF externally and oversees LHIF activities and initiatives. A permanent Secretariat provides strategic, technical and logistical support to further LHIF coordination, advocacy, and representation.
