This Guide has been prepared under the Partnership for improving prospects for forcibly displaced persons and host communities (PROSPECTS)1 . It was jointly developed by the ILO’s Employment Intensive Investment Programme in the Development and Investment Branch and the Skills and Employability Branch and contains guidance and recommendations for EIIP and skills development practitioners, including project designers and managers, to better integrate skills development for workers in EIIP programmes and projects, and reap benefits from the national skills development system. It reviews country examples of skills development in EIIPs and provides practical guidance for the design, planning, implementation, assessment and evaluation of skills development through EIIPs.
