recommendations:

title:

8. Reconsider types of training provided in future projects, especially trainings provided for women ILO country office, as well as project management, are recommended to reconsider the training programs being implemented under future ILO projects. Given the low number of jobs being generated in the Jordanian economy, and given the much larger number of new labor market entrants, future ILO project should steer away from the traditional training and job placement it has been conducting across its projects. Instead, future projects are encouraged to design more innovative approaches to trainings that equips trainees with skills related to self employment or related to the Gig economy, which is less vulnerable to the rate of job generation in the economy. This is especially relevant for women, where future projects are advised to steer away from traditional handicrafts training towards more innovative sectors and training approaches, in order not to inadvertently perpetuate the stigmatization of women's economic role. Trainings designed for women should also strive to make it easier for women to attend the sessions through the provision of transportation and day care facilities.

action_plan:

The newly developed proposal for PRM (phase IV) is in line with this recommendation and expands further on the topic of self-employment and entrepreneurship, particularly among youth and women within the context of Women Do Business. the proposal focuses on supporting women business owners who had been trained and funded in previous phases to scale their businesses and expand their access to markets through innovative and sustainable solutions. The proposed project will capacitate the established network of women by providing them with advanced training, connecting them with key resources and tools, formally registering them, as well as supporting them in providing one-on-one and group advisory and training sessions to their peers through pilots. the project will then integrate scalable women-owned enterprises with business aggregators, e-commerce platforms and other available marketplaces to expand their linkages with domestic and external markets and in turn scale and sustain their business. This allows target enterprises to alleviate the burdens associated with transportation, marketing, and some other business functions.

comments:

PRM phase III addressed the need to incorporate innovation in its training interventions especially when focused on the youth and women segments. Core entrepreneurship related training modules will be transformed into digital content and make them publicly available and accessible. the ILO is also in the process of entering a partnership agreement for the development and delivery of an intensive innovation and entrepreneurship training programme to support young Jordanians and Syrians by offering a blend of technical training provisions, guidance on career and business development, and linkages with key resources
