فرص عمل لدى المنظمة الدولية للعمالة (ILO): مطلوب مساعد أول للعمليات والأمن المحلي

Introduction

The ILO is currently implementing employment-intensive infrastructure recovery works in the city of Aleppo and intends to expand its activities through a launch of a new project in November 2023 in underserved rural Aleppo, namely in Al Khafsa and Maskanah, with the aim to addressing the incapacitating impact of winter conditions on underserved communities to enhance their resilience. This will be achieved through the survey, clearance, and rehabilitation of critical road arteries, to allow access to basic services and livelihood opportunities.

The rehabilitation of rural feeder roads is estimated to benefit approximately 88,500 inhabitants in and around the areas. The work pertains to the repair of potholes and cracks on roadways as well as concrete lining, culvert repair, and gabion erosion control on sideways against flood risk mitigation. The improved feeder roads enhance humanitarian and agricultural market access. This in turn creates decent jobs and incomes needed for the winter in the short-term (winter 2023/2024), while building resilience against future winters.
