The IECD has continued to develop its activities in the Middle East and North Africa despite the deteriorating economic, social and political situation. The IECD has expanded its work with the most vulnerable groups in collaboration with local public and private partners.

In Lebanon, despite the multidimensional crisis, IECD has maintained its activities throughout the country. Thanks to the diversity of its projects and schemes, IECD has confirmed its position as a key player in the fields of vocational training and access to employment. New projects have been implemented to respond to the challenges facing the country, in particular integration via the energy transition professions and the development of training in the installation of solar panels.

The IECD has repositioned itself to provide technical assistance to local partners in the Palestinian Territories . For example, its partner Burj al Luqluq Community Centre and Society has successfully taken over from the IECD the management and running of the Al Hamawi socio-educational centre, located to the east of Jerusalem.

In Syria, the IECD has increased its impact through the development of integration projects and short professional training courses.

In Morocco, after the consecration of the project to train people to help people with reduced mobility and the development of entrepreneurial support, the teams are trying out these models within other structures.

L’IECD s’est implanté en Tunisie et a posé les premières pierres des dispositifs de la Nouvelle Chance à Sousse et Kairouan.

Enfin, le Réseau Méditerranée Nouvelle Chance a mené de nouvelles actions de plaidoyer auprès des instances publiques, tout en publiant un guide de bonnes pratiques sur le genre et en mettant en œuvre le 1er échange de jeunes entre les deux rives de la Méditerranée.
