Rebuilding Syria through green jobs and skills

This intervention aims to address the decent work deficits and unemployment caused by the conflict in Syria by promoting sustainable infrastructure practices particularly in the affected neighbourhoods and supporting skills development interventions. It places decent work principles at the core of the social recovery and economic reconstruction of the country. The intervention is strategically focused on revitalizing Syria's agricultural/agri-food and garment sector as a means to generate decent work opportunities and contribute to economic recovery and social cohesion. It directly responds to the explicit demand of ILO constituents for employment promotion, skills development, and labour standards enforcement in the context of the ongoing crisis. It is also in line with the Syria Country Strategy 2024-2026 and is implemented in collaboration with UNHCR and UNIDO.

The project is implemented under the ILO Initiative on Decent Work for Peace and advances the application of decent work principles for peacebuilding in line with the HDP Nexus approach.
