Abstract
In 2014, the ILO launched the project “Enabling Job Resilience and Protecting Decent Work Conditions in Rural Communities Affected by Syrian Refugees Crisis in Northern Lebanon” funded with the ILO’s resources and by the Government of Italy, to alleviate the negative impact of the Syrian crisis in Lebanon. The project aimed to enhance the resilience of affected producers and workers in rural areas by increasing income generation and employment creation in the agricultural sector. This was achieved using the ILO’s Approach to Inclusive Market Systems (AIMS), a holistic and market-based livelihoods strategy that seeks to apply the “market systems” or “making markets work for the poor” approach to contexts of forced displacement.
