Pathways to empowerment: recognizing the competences of Syrian refugees in Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey

This publication maps and analyses how the non-formal and informal learning and competences of Syrian refugee youth and young adults living in Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey can be recognized, validated and accredited. The aim is to provide national and sectoral stakeholders in these countries with critical guidance in establishing national policies and building robust recognition mechanisms to ensure that refugees who have dropped out of school, interrupted their education, or lost their qualification documents, are able to enter or re-enter education and training or integrate into the world of work.
