The project

The project “AMAL – Improved Access to Work for vulnerable Syrian refugees and Jordanians in the governorates of Amman, Zarqa and Karak” (AID 013186/01/0) is implemented by ICU (applicant and overall coordinator) in partnership with Save the Children Jordan (SCJ) and Athar for Youth Development, and is financed by the Italian Agency for Development Cooperation (AICS).

Specific objective: Syrian refugees and vulnerable Jordanians – in particular women, youth and persons with disabilities – in the governorates of Amman, Zarqa and Karak obtain a stable income from employment or self-employment thanks to the development of market-aligned skills and the strengthening of MSMEs.

Expected results:

• R.1 Strengthened technical, practical and professional skills required by the local labor market among vulnerable Syrian refugees and Jordanians, with particular attention to youth, women and persons with disabilities.
• R.2 Promoted inclusive and sustainable entrepreneurship, contributing to the strengthening of micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs).
• R.3 Strengthened activation and participation of the public sector, private sector and community associations to promote inclusive and sustainable economic growth.
