recommendations:

title:

Provide technical advice to enhance outcomes for reforestation and water-harvesting activities. Achieving increased production outcomes for the current activities both has direct benefits, but also provides more compelling reasons for funding to those who make budgeting decisions Reforestation: achieve better establishment and maintenance strategies through ensuring suitable technical advice is available. This can be through both external experts, combined with local expertise. To enable ongoing mentoring, opportunities for networking of relevant Directorate staff across all Governorates should be made. Such a networking should begin early in the season, with one later to build communication networks. Water-harvesting and agriculture production: provide technical advice for improved production with a focus on intercropping and farmers entering vegetable production. Technical knowledge in crop production should be supported by (a) efficient water-use, through drip-irrigation and/or use of hydroponics), and (b) cost and benefits of investment in agriculture. Dissemination of good results should be carried out to achieve dynamic expansion. Technical advice in crop production should already be available in the Directorates and with experienced local farmers. Support it needed not for technical advice but rather development of extension strategies/plans. This should be done before construction begins.

action_plan:

Under a complementary intervention, the ILO has worked with the MOL to reach Syrian workers in hard to reach places through mobile work permit units (vans). The vans are equipped with a laptop and printer connected to the MOL work permit database, so that work permits can be automatically renewed and issued on the spot. Since March2019 More than 500 permits have been issued to Syrian agricultural workers
