Supporting the strategic objectives of the London Syria Conference 2016

As a direct follow up to the London Syria Conference, the UK, as part of our international commitments, pledged to build economic opportunities and create job opportunities for Syrian refugees and vulnerable people in host countries. This project directly supports this commitment. At the end of the project, at least 5,000 Syrians and vulnerable Jordanians will have benefited from an easier access to decent work in agriculture and construction because of (a) job matching and skills development services; (b) improved regulatory framework and compliance activities; (c) joint business ventures for these two sectors (agriculture related products and constructions).
