- theme:
- Vulnerable groups
- category:
- Conditions of work & equality
- comments:
- ILO technical advisers, donors, program team and Directorate staff (who manage contracts).
- challenges:
- Labour markets are weak and despite worthwhile attributes conferred by EIIP, obtaining sustainable work is not likely.
- success:
- Reforestation work does provide opportunity for longer contracts, whereas cistern/tank construction, which of their nature, are short term (currently 13 days)
- context:
- The Ministry of Labor aims for Syrian refugees to enter the formal economy, and to be self-reliance in obtaining work.
- description:
- The EIIP provides direct work opportunities as well as a means for the refugees to obtain WPs, and so to present as legitimate workers. In terms of building personal attributes of the refugees to acquire work, short term contracts are not sufficient to achieve attitudinal change. Work contracts of 3 months provide workers conditions for planning family affairs and budgeting. In effect they become accustomed to work and income routine, which they then try to continue.
- administrative_issues:
- Criteria and mechanisms for cistern/tank construction could be changed to enable formation of Joint business venture, which offer longer term work and a high degree of self-determination than wage labour.
