The UNESCO Jordan Office is implementing a number of projects targeting employment generation through the rehabilitation of Jordan cultural heritage sites through funding by the European Union, as part of the Madad Fund in response to the Syria Crisis.
Specifically, the project "Support to Livelihoods through Cultural Heritage Development" aims at improving self-reliance among Syrian refugees and vulnerable Jordanians living in the governorates in the North of Jordan through access to immediate short-term decent job opportunities in the cultural heritage sector through employment intensive schemes. The project objective will be achieved through: a) on the short term, implementation of immediate measures that promote human dignity and social cohesion in preparation for longer term economic opportunities; b) on the longer term, provision of sustainable decent work opportunities and entrepreneurial activities within an enabling policy environment.
As the project targets the creation of decent job opportunities through the implementation of heritage conservation interventions at six heritage sites in the north of Jordan, a considerable component of field implementation which requires the related field management skills is involved.
