- comments:
- The direct beneficiaries were the project participants and the wider communities. The users of the lessons were the programme and other key stakeholders and more widely those developing policies and implementing programmes in other countries in similar situations.
- challenges:
- The negative factors were the fall in the sharp falls in the programme wage rate which jeopardised the programme because of the unwillingness of workers to join and continue working and potentially higher project costs because of unrealistic official exchange rates.
- success:
- The positives were the adaptation shown by the programme team supported by the donor and ILO ROAS to work with exiting and additional partners (NGOs) to adapt the programme to add new more labour intensive initiatives to generate the much more employment than the target.
- context:
- The context was the crises which jeopardised effective functioning of the programme and greater need for its support in Lebanon.
- description:
- The economic crisis in Lebanon compounded by COVID-19 and the Beirut Port explosion necessitated the need for flexibility and innovation to adapt the programme to continue operating effectively and to provide the increased support needed for the displaced Syrian and host community members.
- administrative_issues:
- The issues were adaptability and innovation required in changing the implementation and donor and ILO ROAS to enable these.
