- INTRODUCTION
The BMZ (through KfW)-funded Employment Intensive Investment Program (EIIP) in Jordan started in 2016 with the objective of providing employment to Syrian refugees and host Jordanian communities. Since then, the project has expanded its focus from employment creation to the construction and maintenance of public infrastructure and the skills development of beneficiaries to improve their employability in the Jordanian labour market, while continuing the local economic benefits of large-scale employment following the principles of decent work.
Jordan, through its Compact presented at the February 2016 London Conference “Supporting Syria and the Region” has now pledged to deliver up to 200,000 working permits to Syrian refugees.
It is envisaged that investments and expanded trade in Jordan resulting from the London Conference will create jobs in the long term, and it is of crucial importance to allow for both Syrian refugees and vulnerable Jordanians to secure decent livelihoods in the meantime. To this end, the programme “Employment Intensive investment Programme in Jordan” was introduced through the funding by the Government of Germany through the German Development Bank, KfW. It aims to support the Government of Jordon in creating immediate jobs through the Employment Intensive Investment Programme (EIIP) approach for both Syrian women and men refugees and members of their host communities, through increased employment while also improving local infrastructures.
The programme in its sixth phase with key objective of the EIIP is to create short-term job opportunities that enable both refugees and vulnerable host communities to earn their own incomes, thus easing peoples’ financial stress.
