lessons_learned:

description:

The two programmes between them have demonstrated the wide scope of works that EIIP encompasses, infrastructure and building construction and maintenance, forestry management and improving municipal amenities and services.

context:

Where there are acute needs for employment generation to play a part in supporting livelihoods the wide scope of works if not constrained by the sectors in which works should focus and stipulation of labour intensities to be achieved would lead to more effective responses.

success:

The positive issues are the cluster evaluation approach which enabled comparison between the effects of different policies and constraints in the two countries and demonstration of the wide scope of works.

challenges:

The challenges are policies, guidelines and resource constraints which limit the scope of activities. In addition to stipulation of very high labour intensities in Jordan the requirement that municipalities meet the cost of materials, equipment and tools and their limited resources are challenges.

administrative_issues:

For the design of future phases and planning their implementation would be improved by considering the potential scope of works how the scope would be affected by the policy and resource constraints.

comments:

The direct beneficiaries are the programmes and the other key stakeholders (the donor, ILO ROAS, policy makers in Lebanon and Jordan and others in the CfW sector in the countries). The wider beneficiaries are JCPI and policy makers and donors in other parts of the world implementing CfW projects.
