The project "Supporting Social and Economic Resilience of Vulnerable Women and Girls II (SECuRE II)" is planned for 2021 - 2024. The project is implemented by the International Rescue Committee, IRC, and covers a total of SEK 120.2 million over a period of three years. The intervention centre on the following three programme objectives: - Women safely generate income and assets and are able to safely use and control resources. - Women and girls are empowered and supported to shape and contribute to their communities and homes. - Women and girls are protected and supported to recover from the consequences of Gender-Based Violence (GBV). The aim of the project is to increase women's security and promote their economic and social resilience in vulnerable areas in both Lebanon and Jordan. The project focuses on finding opportunities for work and women's entrepreneurship and at the same time increase their knowledge of gender-based violence and thus strengthen them both in financial independence, their own security and control over their lives. The project is intended to reach more than 45 000 direct beneficiaries and 82 000 indirectly in Lebanon and Jordan.

Result
The programme in Jordan and in Lebanon includes both refugees and host populations. The ratio between these two groups vary from activity to activity - in some cases refugees are in majority and in some cases it is the other way around. IRC-Lebanon has noted that since the programme is accessible to all community members, it has contributed to positive social cohesion between Lebanese and Syrian participants of the programme. One very successful result in Jordan was the securing of one-year contracts with employers during 2022 for 150 women who participated in employability training. Another positive result from Jordan (by mid-2023) was the 94 new job positions which were created as a result of 111 female entrepreneurs receiving small business growth grants through the programme. As for results during the first year of the programme it can be noted that generally it is more difficult to achieve sustainable results within the ERD-component, especially the context in Lebanon is unfavorable with restrictions on refugees´ employment opportunities and the massive social and economic crisis the country is going through, which affects the majority of the population. IRC reports that many of their clients increasingly are using negative coping mechanisms such as buying food on credit and changing dietary habits and quality of food. It should also be noted that the individualized nature of the ERD-support (vocational training, apprenticeships, on-the-job training, small business grants etc.) is such that it often does not reach large numbers of people, and the often substantial support to each individual tend to continue over lengthy periods. The WPE-component includes many activities that are of such nature that they reach a large number of people, e.g community outreach activities often focused on awareness raising, gender discussion groups, women and girls safe spaces (WGSS), adolescent girls´progammes etc. Within the WPE-component, the GBV case management services show very good results in both Jordan and Lebanon, where the large majority of cases are managed and closed in a satisfactory way. In e.g. Lebanon, 97 % of GBV-survivors who received case management services and/or individualized psycho-social support reported satisfaction with the services they had received.
The overall goal of the project is: Women and girls are safer and are economically and socially resilient. The project has three sub-objectives: - Women safely generate income and assets and are able to safely use and control resources. - Women and girls are empowered and supported to shape and contribute to their communities and homes. - Women and girls are protected and supported to recover from the consequences of Gender-Based Violence (GBV).
