‘Towards an inclusive national social protection system and accelerating decent job opportunities for Syrians and vulnerable Jordanians’ implemented jointly by ILO and UNICEF and funded by the European Commission DG for Neighbourhood and Enlargement Negotiations. The project is scheduled to run from October 2020 until September 2023, and the total budget for the project is USD 15,730,337.
This EU-funded Joint ILO-UNICEF programme was implemented in response to recent progress made towards developing a social protection system for Jordan, as well as the evaluation policies of the donor organisation, the EU Madad Fund, in light of recent developments, and the development of a National Social Protection Strategy. The programme proposed three main outcomes to address these systemic issues, in alignment with both ILO and UNICEF country documents, as well as national government strategies:
1. Enhanced coordination, integrated planning, and monitoring for government wide efforts in the social protection and employment sector. Outputs delivered serve to strengthen mechanisms for coordinated implementation of national employment and social protection interventions in the context of the NSPS.
2. Strengthened national systems/mechanisms to enhance access to labour market, decent work and employment based social protection schemes. Outputs delivered serve to provide support towards effective and cost-efficient implementation and realisation of access to employment (work permits), enhanced capacity for the implementation of mechanisms to ensure increasingly decent work (labour inspection) and access to social security expanded to workers in the informal economy.
3. Vulnerable Jordanians and Syrians transition from cash assistance to sustainable jobs.
