USAID's Syria Livelihoods Program (SLP), in partnership with the Raqqa Local Administration and Municipalities Committee, distributed block presses, generators, and electrical control panels to 30 workshops in Raqqa as part of its efforts to improve availability of critical construction materials - like cement bricks - in northeast Syria. The program also distributed raw materials such as cement and gravel to the workshops to enable them to quickly begin production with the new presses. SLP will provide one month’s paid on-the-job training for 60 block press operators who will be newly employed at the workshops to operate the additional presses. The insufficient supply of bricks in Raqqa is due to a shortage of both brick presses and trained press operators and is significantly impacting contractor and overall construction sector performance across northeast Syria.
