HIGHLIGHTS:
In Turkey, over 2,300 Syrian refugees and Turkish beneficiaries received livelihoods training this month. Vocational trainings organized and conducted by various 3RP partners during April included basic life skills, computer training classes, accounting management, human resource development, nutrition, handicrafts and embroidery. Turkish language classes also continue to be organized for Syrian refugees.
In April, over 3,100 individuals were supported through activities of an ongoing project on work permits covering various cities in Turkey. A total of nine training sessions were organized for Syrian refugees on the work permit application process in April. In addition, 79 awareness-raising and 34 legal counselling sessions were organized.
In Lebanon, given the high interest of partners in developing value chain upgrading programmes, the Livelihoods sector consolidated lessons learned from the existing value chains interventions. The sector target is to initiate upgrading work in 21 value chains this year. The main progress in April in that area was related to valorising the traditional Syrian embroidery value chains and partners worked with Artisan du Liban to provide technical and business management trainings for 50 Syrian refugees and host community.
