description:

• To provide immediate benefit to the Syrian refugees and host communities ILO developed the ‘Rural Infrastructure, Training and Employment (RITE)’ pilot project using the employment intensive investment programme approach. • The project aimed to test the approach in Jordan (approach implemented for the first time in the Middle East) and to i) demonstrate the short-term benefits of EIIP by injecting cash into host communities through paying people wages for work done, and ii) to show long-term benefits by upgrading local infrastructure and introducing regular maintenance schemes. • The project provides capacity building to all stakeholders before awarding a contract focused on using local resources and replacing economically viable machinery with labour where feasible. Central to the approach are labour-based and light equipment-supported approaches for construction. • Focus of the infrastructure projects can be wide ranged including public buildings such as the rehabilitation of schools, but projects can also be linked to local economic growth such as water catchment and maintenance of agricultural roads to improve the productivity of the land and access to markets.
