This case study is part of a larger research study conducted in partnership with UNHCR that explored how people affected by displacement use and relate to their mobile phones. This research captured the perspectives of Syrian refugees and members of the Lebanese communities that host them in the Tripoli Metropolitan Area and Akkar Governorate, across seven urban locations. Both the North Governorate (where Tripoli is located) and the Akkar Governorate are underdeveloped and economically fragile, with less infrastructure and higher poverty rates than the rest of the country. In a challenging context to access and use mobile phones, learn how Syrian refugees spend time every day connecting with friends and family, especially those at home in Syria.
