Employment Intensive Infrastructure Programme in Lebanon: Phase III

Responding to the continuing Syrian refugee crisis, phase III of the Lebanon Employment Intensive Infrastructure Project (EIIP) will build on the past 2 years of experience of employment intensive work in Lebanon, working in partnership with UNDP in the Framework of Phase I and Phase II of EIIP, to create jobs for vulnerable Lebanese host community members and Syrian refugees. Local Resource-Based Technology and Decent Work strategies will be applied in labour-based construction of locally prioritised productive infrastructure, maintenance and environmental works. Easing the strain on local infrastructure and services, as well as by providing jobs for both refugees and host community members, will strengthen resilience of host communities and reduce tensions within the labour force. Capacity support to the Government of Lebanon (Ministry of Labour and Ministry of Social Affairs) will establish an institutional mechanism to expand such labour-based and decent work approaches in future government and international aid programmes.
