20 FIELD DEPLOYEMENT Upon the conclusion of the field deployment phase, a total of 1,090 surveys were carried out across both governorates. The map below provides a visual representation of the survey distribution and the geographical scope of the study. Out of these surveys, 1,034 were validated and included as part of the final sample for this report. 1,034 surveys Main survey Parent survey Control survey Between March 27 and May 12, the surveyors completed a total of 570 surveys with adult stateless individuals (547 validated) and 336 surveys with parents of stateless children (315 validated). Furthermore, 184 control surveys were carried out with local citizens (172 validated), ensuring alignment with the geographic distribution of the main and parent surveys. The validation of surveys consisted in eliminating duplicates to ensure that only one stateless person from each household was surveyed. This process was completed in both the main and parent surveys. In addition, 195 households with at least one stateless individual were either unavailable or rejected to participate in the survey during the field deployment. The team systematically captured relevant data in order to have a comprehensive mapping of the actual number of stateless individuals in Greater Beirut and Mount Lebanon. © 2023 Siren Associates.
