UNDP launches project to employ displaced Lebanese in cleaning, agricultural jobs
The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) inaugurated an employment programme for the conflict-displaced Lebanese from the border villages in southern Lebanon.
Hassan Dbouq, head of the Union of Tyre Municipalities, who co-inaugurated the programme, said the displaced would be arranged for cleaning and agricultural work for an average of five hours daily in return for $10.
Dubbed “Work for Cash,” the programme would allow each displaced person to work 20 days a month and receive $200.
According to the latest report by the disaster management unit, the number of displaced southerners reached 81,000.
The southern city of Tyre hosted the largest number, 27,400 displaced persons, followed by Nabatieh Governorate, which has 26,911 displaced persons.
