The project aimed to offer access to agricultural technical vocational training to young Syrian and Lebanese students including enrolment in the Lebanese public secondary-level technical degree programme of the technical baccalaureate in agriculture. The final aim was for these students to have a better chance to access the job market as well as provide them with the necessary technical qualifications and official diplomas. The evaluation found that the project was highly relevant to the needs of the government and beneficiaries, and delivered on its obligations despite the complexity and the challenging operational environment.
