As Lebanon continues to reel from the effects of a multifaceted economic crisis, a competency-based training course conducted by the PROSPECTS programme gave Lebanese and Syrian trainees the key skills needed to advance their careers in Lebanon’s vital agricultural sector.

The PROSPECTS programme is helping strengthen the country’s agricultural sector through a competency-based training course in dairy livestock farming. The initiative focuses on upskilling individuals already working in agriculture and reskilling newcomers to the sector. The programme includes a ten-week course on agricultural machinery repair, followed by seven weeks of on-the-job training, equipping both Lebanese and Syrian trainees with essential technical skills to build sustainable livelihoods in the agriculture and mechanical fields.
