In 2019, the Technical and Vocational Education Training Programme (TVET) will maintain its long and short-term courses in Damascus, Dera’a, Homs and Aleppo depending on the availability of funds. As demand for TVET services grows, the Agency will continue its efforts to better link students with the job market and increase employability rates of graduates. Reconstruction/rehabilitation-focused courses, such as electricity, plumbing or masonry, will continue to be an area of focus. Despite significant challenges, the microfinance programme continues to provide a growing number of loans to Syrians and Palestine refugees within Syria. In 2019, the microfinance team will continue to provide inclusive financial services to Palestine refugees and Syrians requiring additional capital through the direct disbursement of loans to meet the growing demand for financial products. The majority of the loans requested are consumer loans, which enable a household to cover unforeseen expenditures, such as the purchase of assets. Entrepreneur loans are less in demand, reflecting the ongoing constraints of the socioeconomic context in Syria. UNRWA is also exploring the feasibility of conducting small scale cash-for-work initiatives in 2019. Work opportunities would be provided to support the provision of current UNRWA services (health, and education), or to support the restoration of Agency services in newly accessible areas.
