CARE INTERNATIONAL IN JORDAN:

CARE International in Jordan (CARE Jordan) established its presence in Jordan in 1948 in the wake of the Palestinian refugee crisis. Over seventy-three years later, CARE Jordan continues to serve the needs of the Palestinian, Iraqi, Somali, Sudanese, and most recently Syrian refugee communities in country as well as the Jordanian host community. CARE Jordan’s scope of work has evolved from emergency response to long-term development programming, now encompassing an Urban Refugee Protection program, the Sustainable Development program, and the Azraq Camp program.

CARE Jordan leads humanitarian protection, economic empowerment, and civic engagement interventions for women and girls from disadvantaged and vulnerable communities in the fight to overcome poverty, gender-based violence and social injustice.

In its 2020 strategy, CARE Jordan set the following program, goals:

• Program Goal 1: Strengthen humanitarian and protection response and action to support Jordan’s most vulnerable populations with sustainable solutions. Linking humanitarian interventions with long-term development programming will create an enabling environment for promoting and sustaining livelihoods for various communities in Jordan.
• Program Goal 2: Enhance empowerment programming for Jordan’s most vulnerable groups; women and youth, with targeted interventions for Jordanian and refugee women and girls, and male and female youth. CARE Jordan will work with civil society and governmental representatives to engage women and youth in economic empowerment initiatives, while additionally scaling up programming tackling gender-based violence, and amplifying women’s voices in decision-making and public spheres.
• Program Goal 3: Expand effective partnerships through strategic engagement with civil society and government actors towards inclusive governance and achieving sustainable impact through a strengthened and empowered civil society.
