Features of this stage
This project is a qualitative leap in the strategic plan to respond to the Syrian crisis. The previous stages focused on the social integration of Syrian refugees with their new world. This phase focuses on economic integration through training and raising professional awareness.
Also, work has been expanded in gender wise. The previous stages of social integration focused on women, but at the stage of economic integration, males were included among the beneficiaries of the project.
