The response program established about 38 Jordanian-Syrian joint projects, and the program provided technical support on how to manage joint projects and give them simple financial support and follow-up as well. One of the projects that was established Eastern sweets industry project, which includes 6 Jordanian and Syrian partner. They were trained in one of the sweets shops in Irbid, and then underwent training at ILO on how to manage small projects, in addition to providing technical and financial support and linking them with marketing channels for their product.
