The EIIP is the flagship DC program at the International Labour Organization, that has been running in the country since 2017, fully funded by Germany through the German Development Bank KfW. The scope of the work of the EIIP is providing local labour-based infrastructure projects and maintenance projects to local municipalities, government institutions, and community members through a labour-based approach, and locally resourced based technology. The EIIP approach maximises effective inclusive (women and PWD), short term employment opportunities for Syrian refugees and host communities, under the principles of decent work.

4. Challenges and Lessons Learnt: Challenges in work processes and lessons learnt for the upcoming phase.
