LBN - Employment promotion through labour-intensive infrastructure measures, Phase V

active

The Employment Intensive Infrastructure Programme (EIIP) primarily rehabilitates or builds municipal infrastructure in Lebanon. The project focuses on communities that are particularly economically vulnerable and have taken in a large number of Syrian refugees. Here, the communities are particularly burdened by the additional demands on basic infrastructure and the multiple crisis context in the country. The infrastructure measures are built/rehabilitated in a labor-intensive manner in order to create as many jobs as possible for cash-for-work workers (Syrian refugees and vulnerable Lebanese) in the region. Since Phase IV, a support programme run by the Ministry of Agriculture for farmers and communities, as well as rural tourism, has also been supported through the labor-intensive rehabilitation of the Lebanon Mountain Trail. As in Phases I to IV, the target group of the project is to consist equally of Syrian refugees and vulnerable Lebanese. Phase V is expected to last 25 months and will be implemented by the International Labour Organization (ILO).
