In the first three months following effectiveness, MoLSS and ISKUR worked on getting access to procurement and disbursement systems of the World Bank and completing documentation in this regard. Some progress has been made since August 2018 in the preparation for launch of activities. A project launch event has been held at the end of January 2019 along with the second Steering Committee meeting. PIU Consultants for procurement, financial management and communications have been identified and hiring process is almost complete. Progress has also been made in the preparation of language training, vocational training and on the job training activities. ISKUR jobseeker registration and ALMP monitoring system have also been adjusted to capture the ALMPs to be financed under the project. The roll-out of active labor market programs are expected to start in a gradual manner first in Adana with already registered Syrian jobseekers and/or through outreach using partner organizations such as UNHCR and Turkish Red Crescent (Kizilay) and continue in the Sanliurfa, Istanbul and Gaziantep.
