- challenges:
- Farmers and cooperatives in rural communities of Akkar have to deal with a number of authorities and service providers. They need to address this in a step by step manner in accordance with time consuming and costly procedures. In many cases they cannot properly address the challenges and complexities related to ensuring the inputs and services needed for their activities.

- context:
- Previous experiences in fragile or recovery contexts such as PRODERE programme in Latin America included and emphasized the creation of Local Economic Development Agencies (LEDAs). They are local centres that provide orientation and information on crops, prices, regulations and subsidies. They had also the mission of creating jobs through the promotion of economic initiatives by local populations under ILO auspices, through the creation of small enterprises or supporting cooperatives. They were also places for social gathering and cohesion among farmers and local communities. Dozens of LEDAs were created through the PRODERE programme.

- Importance of platform managed by local development centre
Farmers and cooperatives in the rural communities of Akkar have to deal with a number of authorities and service providers in their activities. They have to address this step by step and in a time consuming and costly set of procedures. In many cases they cannot properly address challenges and complexities related to ensuring the inputs and services needed for their activities.
Therefore, ILO project of Enhancing Job Resilience and Protecting Decent Work Conditions in Rural Communities Affected by the Syrian Refugee Crisis in Northern Lebanon should have considered the creation of a platform/One Stop Shop, managed by local development centre such as North LEDA, that would provide multilevel and multidimensional support to farmers in terms technical orientation and advise on crops, input provision, coordination among local actors and labour needs matching in local agriculture sector. This would also enhance the sustainability and continuity of project action in the future.
- administrative_issues:
- A platform/one stop shop should be considered a part of a future replication of the existing project.
