- comments:
- The targeted users are policy makers in the two countries and designers and implementers of the CfW programmes in similar situations.
- challenges:
- The challenges are not just to do with policies and regulations and how effectively they are applied but the tensions created between the host and displaced communities because of the competition for jobs and livelihoods.
- success:
- Providing decent jobs on EIIP projects to members of the host community and displaced Syrians in equal numbers and effective management of work have contributed to reduced tensions.
- context:
- The context is the understandable concerns of the host country government and communities on the competition between displaced Syrians and host community members in the market for unskilled labour on which the poor and vulnerable host community members rely.
- description:
- The lesson is the need for persistence, developing innovative and pragmatic solutions and supporting the Government of Jordan to develop policies and regulations which enable displaced Syrians to work on the programme and gain wider access to the labour market.
- administrative_issues:
- The persistent efforts required to support the changes in the work permit regime has taken up programme staff time. ILO ROAS support and collaboration with others in the sector have been instrumental in supporting the government to develop a pragmatic solution and share the financial cost in particular in setting up the Policy Support Unit in the MoL.
