Rights Respected, People Protected

NRC in Jordan 

Established in 2012 NRC Jordan’s long-term outlook addresses the problems affecting life as a refugee. We work to build the resilience of Syrians, and to relieve the impact on the Jordanian communities that host them.  Syrian refugees in Jordan are struggling. As they contend with difficult living conditions across the country, the obstacles are complex. They struggle to remain registered as refugees, to provide for their families, and to access essential services – including education for their children. The Jordanian communities that host them, meanwhile, feel the impact of hosting high numbers of refugees – with each year that passes, local infrastructure becomes more strained.

 

Role Specific Information

NRC- Jordan Education Strategy:

The NRC Jordan education programme will work on issues of access and quality in order to exact change and provide services to refugee girls and boys and host community boys and girls. At the access level NRC will provide additional teaching and learning spaces and classrooms, (with accompanying extended WASH facilities), at both camp and host community level. At the quality level NRC will work to ensure that children in NRC run learning centres, the camp schools into which they transition and the host community schools and learning centres that they can attend enjoy better quality and more tailored services and provide a protective environment. This will be achieved by augmenting existing services and expanding their targets and remits as well as ensuring teaching standards are raised and that the community is involved in and supportive of children’s education. This will include phases of community outreach, using community mobilizers to engage parents and to help them support their children’s education.  In camps this will include the expansion of ‘walking routes’ or other community-based initiatives to support children safely accessing learning sites.
