Evaluation of Women’s Skills Development Programme, Lebanon

Date/Duration

2014

Project Objectives

Evaluate and support improved performance of a home-based skills development programme supporting Syrian refugee women and their host communities in developing livelihood skills and opportunities.

Project Outputs

The evaluation found that despite several challenges during the initial implementation period – e.g. regulatory restrictions related to refugee livelihood, budgetary constraints, and the short implementation period – several of the livelihood skills showed promise in the market. Importantly, the programme resulted in several positive outcomes for women’s empowerment: the women reported higher levels of self-esteem and self-worth, an increased role in their households, and greater support for women’s employment by the male heads of household. Another key finding of the evaluation was that the programme also served as a mechanism for greater interaction between Syrian refugee women and the Lebanese women in the host communities, contributing to improved social cohesion.
