Project Summary
As of April 2020, 746,723 refugees were actively registered in Jordan, including 656,418 Syrians. UNHCR reports that 83% of Syrian refugees reside in the host community, and 78% are considered highly or severely vulnerable, living below Jordan’s poverty line[1]. The situation in Jordan is particularly difficult for refugees with disabilities who are more vulnerable and likely to experience poverty. Due to inaccessibility, stigma, lack of transport, medical costs[2], and other challenges, persons with disabilities (PWDs) are less likely to access basic services and engage with their communities, which further contribute to their marginalization. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates the incidence of disability within any population is 15% and 20% in a humanitarian or crisis setting,

GBV Prevention Curriculum: An overview of good practices and tools in Jordan 2020 [EN/AR]
Format
Introduction
This guide was developed by the Jordan River Foundation in partnership with Jordan Humanitarian Fund of the United Nations (JHF - OCHA) with the generous support of Belgium, Germany, Ireland, Sweden and Italy, and in close coordination with the SGBV SWG (Sexual and Gender Based Violence Sub-Working Group) to act as a guiding tool for institutions and organizations. The various programs aiming at planning and implementing projects aimed at promoting prevention and elimination of all types of gender-based violence in Jordan, and providing a knowledge base based on best practices that have been implemented in this regard, in addition to lessons learned from practices that did not meet the expected success with a view to avoid or reprogram it according to the target context.
