title:

Where possible, work contracts for Syrian refugees should be greater than 16 days in order that they will be eligible for WPs and SS. Contracts for both Jordanian and Syrian refugees should be longer term (3 months), so that workers adjust their work/life patterns, plan family progress and budget accordingly. To reinforce this, it should be made clear that workers with long term contract (min 2 months continuous employment) will not be eligible for a new contracts within the next 12 months. As such they should not expect employment with a new ILO project but rather seek further work themselves. The period of time allocated for water cistern/tank construction should be increased to above the 16 day threshold (currently 12 days). The additional time designated for cistern/tank construction could usefully be achieved through allocating days for various land-improvements so that the water is used more effectively; i.e. construction of contour barriers or bunds across fields or around specific crops. These would reduce soil erosion due to the more intense rain-storms being experienced, as well as increasing infiltration of the water into the soil. Increase work stability through applying a JBV approach to the cistern/tank construction activity. Support for formation of JBVs could be made available to teams with joint experience (at least 2 units each of both cistern and tanks successfully constructed) for groups of 2-6 persons. These new JBVs could then respond to, and promote the growing demand for more units, thereby stimulating the local economy and extending their own employment Facilitate access to WPs and SS. The process for accessing to WPs is unfamiliar to farmers. The responsibility for facilitating this should retained by the Directorates directly, or through Cooperatives with this function.

action_plan:

Under the second phase of the project, all workers were registered in the ILO Employment Service Centres, where they have access to longer-term job placements (mostly construction and manufacturing), as well as skills training and certification programmes. 2000 workers from the project were registered. And they are eligible to participate in on-the-job training. The practice of registering EIIP workers in the ILO/MOL ESCs in now routine practice for all ILO projects (currently two EIIP projects running- KfW and World Bank MSSRP).
