The ILO and AVSI Foundation, in partnership with Lebanon’s Agriculture Ministry and with funding from the Netherlands through the PROSPECTS programme, launched a skills training initiative for local and Syrian workers on Lebanese dairy farms.
The initiative combines work-based learning with veterinary support to boost Lebanon’s dairy farming sector. In partnership with the University of Balamand, it reached 17 farms across Akkar and the Bekaa Valley, offering training and services such as vaccination and artificial insemination. Aimed at enhancing productivity, sustainability, and job creation, the programme responds to Lebanon’s ongoing economic crisis by investing in agriculture as a key driver of recovery and growth.
