This report provides an assessment of
constraints and opportunities for the creation of more and
better quality jobs for Lebanese in the more fragile and
conflict-affected regions. The geographical focus is North
Lebanon, including Tripoli. This analysis, accompanied by
further dialogue with the key public and private sector
professionals, can serve to inform the design and
development of a jobs-focused program of financial support
for North Lebanon. This diagnostic and program development
approach can also be replicated in other high-priority,
lagging regions of the country. The diagnostic followed a
three-pronged approach in order to assess the gaps that need
to be overcome to respond effectively to job opportunities,
foster productivity, and increase earnings: 1) an assessment
of the investment climate in North Lebanon; 2) a value chain
analysis (VCA) of selected sectors and the interventions
required to unlock competitiveness and job creation; and 3)
a review of the supply of labor and skills in the region, a
stock-taking of training providers. Enterprise surveys were
conducted of the key agents in two targeted value chains, as
well as a household-level skills survey of the working age
population in North Lebanon. Complementary semi-structured
interviews and focus group meetings were also undertaken.
Consultations with the Government and other stakeholders
took place from May through August, 2016. |
