ILO (2022) How ILO Programmes Contribute to Social Cohesion between Refugees, IDPs and Host Communities in the Arab States Region
This research was developed by the ILO to gain some knowledge on the current contribution of ILO programmes to social cohesion at the level of direct beneficiaries, collect lessons learned and practices, and identify concrete steps towards enhancing the mainstreaming of social cohesion in programme design, implementation, and monitoring.
Some of the programmes listed are funded by the EU and its Member States, such as the EU-MADAD and PROSPECTS.
The document is the analysis report for ‘Research on How ILO Programmes Contribute to Social Cohesion between Refugees/IDPs and Host Communities in the Arab States Region’. The report drew largely on a desk-based approach.
The main purpose of the research was to understand how ILO’s own programming and its promotion of decent work across the Arab States Region influenced relations between host and forcibly displaced populations. Additionally, the research aimed to respond to the following objectives:
1. Identify any achieved impact of ILO interventions on social cohesion in Jordan, Lebanon, Iraq, and Yemen over the past five years
2. Collate a list of lessons learned on the ILO’s experience and impact on social cohesion in the region
3. Provide practical and actionable recommendations as to how considerations around impacts on social cohesion could be better streamlined in the design and implementation of ILOprogramming and how the ILO can better monitor the impact of its programming on social cohesion.
