While World Bank estimates the national unemployment rate to be 11%, the Ministry of Labor reports an even higher estimate, 25% national unemployment rate with 37% for youth under 35 years of age, and 18% for women1. The picture in the South does not differ much from the national one. The official statistics indicate 65% of the Palestinians and 89% of Syrian Palestinian refugees are living below the poverty line and adopting negative coping strategies, be it selling household goods, cutting food intake, or withdrawing children from schools2. Improving the situation of such vulnerable communities requires support to integrate in the labor market, and access income generating opportunities, in high performing economic sectors that are strategic to the regions and those that provide both employment and business opportunities. Identifying such high performing economic sectors required an assessment, carried out by PU-AMI to understand the current labor market in Saida, Nabatieh, and Jezzine districts, through interviews with different stakeholders, namely small and medium enterprises and identify opportunities for supporting vulnerable populations to access market opportunities, whether employment or self- employment, providing recommendations to the organization on how to increase access to such opportunities and develop programs that lead to meaningful impact within the coming two years. The assessment provided a snapshot of the labor market in the regions, mapping the different livelihoods interventions undertaken by different local and international associations working in the region, namely in the form of vocational training provisions, within the bundle of social services offered to different age groups. The mapping indicted that accelerated education or market-based skills training provided by international organizations are more compatible with market demand, based on in-depth analysis of skills gap in the current labor market. However, challenges exist for all organizations, namely in lack of investment in the region to improve economic conditions and create jobs, shortage of funds and sustainability of training programs, fluctuation of the Labor Market, making it difficult to address through proper training programs, restriction on work for Palestinians and The continuous change in governmental regulations regarding right to work for Syrians. When it comes to analyzing labor demand, the assessment interviewed a sample of 20 enterprises, across the three regions, varying in their size (micro, small, and medium), and domain of operation within the various subsectors. Among the main findings from the interviews with different companies are: The Syrian Crisis, political uncertainties and the worsened security situation around the Palestinian camps have significantly impacted the various businesses, regardless of the 1 Arab Weekly Digest, Interview with Minister of Labor, Beirut, August 2017. 2 UNHCR, UNICEF, WFP, Vulnerability Assessment of Syrian Refugees in Lebanon, VASYR, 2017. 07-2018 / MARKET ASSESSMENT IN SAIDA & NABATIEH DISTRICTS / 4 Première Urgence Internationale sectors in which they operate. Investments have shifted to other ‘more secure’ regions, and businesses have been left along to mitigate the impact. The decrease in demand due to Syrian crisis, though increased first at beginning but then declined, and increased overhead costs have been the main result of the crisis, let alone the overall economic stagnation that is influencing the whole nation. Due to the current situation, companies have become more susceptible to global market shocks, given the high dependency on imports, sourcing small or large portion of their raw materials from abroad, more clearly visible in the diagram below. It is important to note that this applies to both small and large businesses interviewed. Marketing and Access to markets is the foremost challenge unanimously highlighted by the various enterprises interviewed. Marketing is viewed as a challenge as enterprises have at least one marketing element missing or not properly functioning: distribution channels, or consumer profiling & targeting, or lack of clear marketing strategy. The lack of skilled workers is a main challenge across all sectors, especially in the oriental sweets sector, as the new generation lacks the interest in learning the craft and thus having relevant skills fade away. This may require manufacturers to hire older ones, and pay higher wages to secure their employment, thus increasing cost of Labor. When it comes to recruitment processes for new employees, traditional recruitment methods remain prevalent in the region, relying

  • Swiss Solidar Needs Assessment Report Nabatieh
    Swiss Solidar Needs Assessment Report Nabatieh and Jezzine Districts, Southern Lebanon 12 – 16 August 2013 Photo: Meeting with a group of refugees in Doueir municipality, Nabatieh District A – Methodology Swiss Solidar undertook a multi-sectoral needs assessment in August 2013 to assess the humanitarian needs of Syrian refugees residing in Nabatieh and Jezzine Districts in Southern Lebanon.1 Prior to undertaking its field assessment, Solidar undertook a detailed documentation review, including other recent needs assessment reports, strategy documents, NGO position papers and relevant standards. Based on feedback we received from other agencies, UNHCR and government sources, Solidar identified potential gaps in the provision of Shelter, WASH, Protection and Non Food Item (particularly winterisation) assistance in Nabatieh and Jezzine governorates in South Lebanon. A reconnaissance visit to Nabatieh to meet with the Head of the Union of Municipalities and two Heads of Municipalities was then undertaken on 25 July 2013 to confirm the need for Solidar to extend its operations to these locations. Feedback from these meetings demonstrated that there were indeed significant gaps in the assistance being provided to refugees, and Solidar made plans for a more detailed needs assessment. The assessment was undertaken over 5 days from 12-16 August 2013. In addition to Nabatieh, Solidar also included Jezzine District in the assessment as, although there were lower numbers of refugees, the extent of formal assistance was very low. The purpose of the assessment was to assess the situation of Syrian refugees in relation to shelter, livelihoods, WASH, winterisation and protection. Three teams from the local area were recruited and trained for the assessment, overseen by an Assessment Coordinator.
