| Project Detail |
Promoting conflict resolution mechanisms and creating prospects for vulnerable groups and regions in Jordan. Since its independence in 1946, Jordan has been a safe haven for refugees from the Palestinian Territories, Syria, and other countries in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. As a result, its population has increased from around 500,000 to more than 11.5 million people in only 78 years. With scarce resources and structural challenges, compounded by a significant influx of refugees, such a high population increase can lead to socio-economic frustrations. Especially in remote areas, social friction and economic disparities threaten to trigger tensions between individuals and groups. Objective Social cohesion within the population of Jordan is enhanced by supporting people to participate in processes of social change to deal with tensions and to resolve conflicts peacefully. |
