CONTEXT

IECD (Institut Européen de Coopération et de Développement) is a French non-governmental organization founded in 1988 and operating in the field of social and economic development in partnership with local institutions. IECD’s main sectors of action are vocational training and professional integration, assistance to micro and small enterprises and access to education and health for the most vulnerable. In Lebanon, IECD has been operating in the country since 1994 and opened a regional office in Beirut in 2007.

Semeurs d’Avenir (SDA) is a Lebanese association, created in 2010, registered under the number 1905. It is the operational partner of IECD in vocational and professional training.

Since 2013, SDA and IECD are present in Tripoli. They work on social integration of vulnerable youth through short technical training. IECD and SDA also do follow-up of beneficiaries for at least a year after the training and work on placement for better social integration. The two NGO’s have developed a good knowledge of the networks of local entrepreneurs and stakeholders such as the municipality of Tripoli, hospitals and youth and women's associations. They have also developed a network of trainers in Tripoli and in the North, which they use to train and coach youth.

Following the continues effort to leverage the local society these 2 NGO’s are looking for a Market Research analyst to survey North Lebanon’s market needs in terms of jobs opportunities specifically for women in vulnerable communities within the age of 15 to 35 years old.
