LBN: ILO ROAS and EIIP Lebanon is widening its approach with working with GoL and international agencies and other stakeholders to address the challenge of the livelihoods of the poor and vulnerable displaced Syrians and host communities. An ILO Livelihoods officer actively participates in the CfW inter agency working groups. ILO takes a leading role on setting the working conditions and agreeing the common wage rates. ILO attends the UNCT led Strategic Taskforce on Cash Allocations and will share the lessons learned from the EIIP programme on dollarization and cash disbursement. EIIP conducts training on EIIP/ LRBT based methodology and in Phase V will broaden this outreach to Municipalities, Governmental Institutions, and other stakeholders through a new online training platform, thereby increasing the knowledge of the LRBT approach benefiting these organisations. (A more strategic approach with the Institutional bodies, such as a move to PEP, is currently limited by the impact of the economic and political situation.) Skills development for short term workers is being advanced through the cooperation between the EIIP KfW funded programme and the EIIP EU funded programme, where OTJ training is planned for Women and PWD under the KfW phase V funded programme and selected workers will have vocational skills training to enhance future employment opportunities under the EU funded programme. JOR: In Jordan there is collaborative work between all Cash for Work actors under the Programme Support Unit. It’s planned that the collaboration with PSU will be more effective and ILO is taking the lead on the Standard Operation Procedure aside with GIZ on standardizing the rules and regulations for Cash for Work Sector in Jordan. In addition to that the ILO will be responsible for conducting a mapping activity for the sector as kind of contribution to organize this sector.

title:

It is recommended that ILO ROAS and the two EIIP programmes take the initiative to develop a strategic approach in collaboration with GOJ and GoL and international agencies and other stakeholders to address the challenge of the livelihoods of the poor and vulnerable displaced Syrians and host communities. As noted earlier (in SU1 and under Conclusions above, while CFW initiatives by multiple agencies and stakeholders provide episodic support a more coherent targeted employment programme approach would provide more consistent social protection. While this recommendation is applicable for both countries and there are benefits from working collaboratively and engaging with some key stakeholders who are involved in both countries, the strategies and initiatives would need to be tailored for each country. Key multilateral and bilateral donors and development partners engaging at the policy level with GoJ and GoL with a common interest in the reforms could make important contributions.
