Given the protracted effect of the Syrian crisis and the large influx of refugees, with Jordan hosting the second highest share of refugees, Jordan is faced with enhanced unemployment rates and negatively affected relationships between refugees and host communities due to increased competition for accessing public services, including education and employment.
Therefore, Enabel’s intervention is oriented towards providing Syrian refugees and vulnerable Jordanian youth and women with equal opportunities to be trained in semi-skilled work meeting local labour market demand and thus enhancing their employment prospects with local private businesses.
