Partnership Jobs and Education: Exploration phase

This visionary partnership involving ILO, UNICEF, UNHCR, IFC and the Worldbank assists the most vulnerable populations, including those forcibly displaced from their homes and countries and host communities which face ever growing challenges following the influx of refugees. It focuses on the creation of jobs and livelihoods so that refugees can contribute to their new communities and prepare for a possible return to their countries of origin once that becomes possible. The idea is also to strengthen the resilience of those countries and communities that continue to generously offer their support to refugees. The new programme will help scale-up and transform the global response to large-scale displacement, linking humanitarian work with sustainable development support. The ILO will contribute to it with its expertise on jobs and livelihoods for refugees that has been showcased already in countries like Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey. The programme will operate in Ethiopia, Uganda and Kenya as well as other countries in the Middle East and Africa. Besides job creation, programme activities will focus on skills development, prevention of child labour, strengthening of public employment services and social protection, as well as partnerships with the private sector.
