Description

Primary objectives of this work are to test job creation potential of the SME incentive scheme in Lebanon over time and to help determine the optimal content and design of the programme.
The overarching purpose of this evaluation is to generate learning for programme adaptation. This will be achieved through an impact evaluation, a survey on quality of jobs created and to capture wider feedback, a qualitative survey of some of the new supply chain linkages which can be attributed to the STEP programme as well as a process evaluation. Activities will be conducted in collaboration with the SP and both IE and SP will facilitate a mechanism for lessons learning and programme adaptation to determine the optimal content and design of all programme components. The primary objectives can be further broken down into different components. The IE will be required to :
a. Measure jobs created and sustained at the outcome and impact level (see draft logframe) through an impact evaluation. STEP aims to incentivise small and medium size enterprises (SMEs) to expand production and create new permanent jobs for predominantly low-skilled Lebanese workers as well as - in
accordance with Lebanese legislation - temporary jobs for Syrian refugees.
