The project, funded by the
German Development Bank (KFW), focuses on improving infrastructure through labor-intensive
methods that benefit communities in the long run, such as road and school
maintenance, soil improvement, water conservation activities at farms, and
environmental cleaning services.
The sixth phase is expected to provide
1,000 short-term jobs for Jordanians and Syrian refugees in 31 northern and
central municipalities, designating 30 percent of employment to females and 5
percent to people with disabilities through funding worth 7 million euros
provided to local municipalities.
The project, which is being implemented in
cooperation with the Local Administration and Agriculture Ministries, includes
municipality maintenance works, afforestation activities, and training sessions
on professions that qualify participants for the labor market.
During the workshop on Tuesday, Engineer
Anas Bakhit, the project's infrastructure supervisor, briefed participants on
the project's goals, phases, proposals, evaluation, and mechanism for selecting
employees.
The
employment scheme was launched in 2016
in response to the Syrian refugee crisis in cooperation with several Jordanian
ministries, and will conclude in 2024.
