<p>In Lebanon, DFID is providing regular targeted cash transfers to help over 10,000
of the most vulnerable Syrian refugee families to meet their most basic survival needs.
The UK also funds legal assistance, support and advice (e.g. birth/marriage registration,
civil documentation) to 55,000 individuals to uphold rights, facilitate access to
basic services and to better prepare refugees for their eventual return to Syria.
DFID is also supporting provision of non-formal education for up 114,500 vulnerable
children and providing child protection and gender-based violence services to 295,930
girls, boys and caregivers.</p><p>The UK strongly advocates for the rights and protection
of refugees and is working with aid agencies to further reform the aid system to deliver
more effective, smarter aid to the most vulnerable. The UK continues to play a leading
role in mobilising the international community. On 12 – 14 March 2019, the UK attended
the third Brussels Conference on “Supporting the Future of Syria and the Region”,
driving forward the legacy of our own London Conference held in 2016. The money pledged
will save lives and enable the provision of life-saving supplies and resources to
build the livelihoods of millions of internally displaced persons and refugees, and
their host communities.</p>
