While the initial project is a short term intervention to immediately respond to capacity needs of local service providers, the project at hand aims to offer longer term solutions to address the coping capacities of local/central actors hence contribute to the stabilized livelihoods and improvement of basic living conditions for the most vulnerable households hosting Syrian populations and those living in close proximity of camps. UNDP currently implements a project addressing the challenges faced by the host communities due to the Syrian crisis and its spillover effects. One of the main challenges identified is the lack of existing capacities of the Municipalities that host the Syrian influx to provide waste management services to the increased population living within the area of their mandate. UNDP plans to further expand and develop this initiative. For further details, please see Annex 1 (Terms of Reference). 2 SCOPE OF WORK, RESPONSIBILITIES AND DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSED ANALYTICAL WORK The scope of the work includes provision of “Framework-Based Consultancy Services on Foreign Trade Support Personnel Training Program” (the Assignment).
