Skills training on food processing and carpentry
Recovery via employment: Skills training on food processing and carpentry in the Province of Leyte
Super Typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda) devastated farming communities in Leyte province, resulting in massive loss of livelihoods. The International Labour Organization (ILO) and local agencies immediately recognized a need to provide alternative sources of income.
In partnership with the Technical Skills Development Authority (TESDA) Region VIII, the ILO implemented a skills development training programme that supported sustainable local economic recovery. This programme helped restore the livelihood activities of the Haiyan-affected farming communities.
