description:

The Partnership for Improving Prospects for Forcibly Displaced Persons and Host Communities (PROSPECTS) project in Egypt delivered employment support services in Alexandria, including Job Search Clubs and entrepreneurship development training (Get Ahead and SYIB). ILO/PROSPECTS used different mechanisms to encourage and support women to enrol, take part, and complete the services and trainings that the ILO offered. One of ILO’s implementing partners, Caritas, capitalised their available facilities and allowed women trainees to bring their young children to the training room and in some cases offered separate childcare. Such support was provided informally, which proved effective in attracting and retaining women in the support programmes. This is particularly important to achieve PROSPECTS’ objective of enhancing the enabling environment for socio-economic inclusion of forcibly displaced persons and host communities, in this case, women with childcare responsibilities
