Achievements 

• Throughout the duration of 3X6 project in Khaldiyeh and Manshyet Bani Hassan , there were positive indicators of job creation within the MSMEs. While 40% of MSMEs maintaining the same number of employees over 10 months, 32% of MSMEs reported that they have employed one new employee and 8% have employed at least two new employees; this indicates that even over the short duration of the program, the businesses have seen enough market demand and growth to expand, and that entrepreneurs are optimistic and investing in their future.

• For Skills Exchange in Mafraq: 300 Jordanians and Syrian refugees (208 Jordanians and 92 Syrian refugees) were trained on the skills on conflict prevention and

resolution as part of the three-month skills exchange training programme. This contributed to strengthen the social cohesion and community stability in the targeted areas.

• UNDP implemented both quantitative and qualitative assessments of livelihoods and employment projects, including the “Skills Exchange between Jordanians and Syrian Refugees” funded by RDPP, in order to capture their impact on immediate livelihoods, including food security and access to education and health among other basic needs. The monthly individual income to the Syrian beneficiaries as part of RDPP-funded support topped up the total income of their households. Consequently, access to food security as the first choice, and then education and health was enhanced.
