Employment through Labour Intensive Infrastructure in Jordan, Phase III

To support the Government of Jordan in their response to the Syrian refugee crisis, the German Government, through the German Development Bank (KfW), has made funds available to the ILO in July 2016 and November 2017 for Phase I and II of the Programme on Employment through Labour Intensive Infrastructure in Jordan. The programme aims to improve the living conditions of Syrian refugees and Jordanians through increased employment and improved infrastructure. Phase I and Phase II of this programme have a total budget of EUR 20 million. Phase I covered the period July 2016 to October 2017 while Phase II will run from November 2017 to December 2018. Workshops with the implementing ministries to take stock of progress thus far and consider what lessons have been learned were conducted in November 2017 and a project evaluation of Phase I has already started. The findings of the workshops and the evaluation will be used to further fine-tune the programme, in close collaboration with KfW. This is Phase III, for the period January 2018 to June 2019 (18 months), for which the ILO has requested an additional budget of EUR 5 million.
