Agreement Value:
$1,000,000.00
Agreement Date:
Apr 21, 2021 - Mar 31, 2022
Description:
March 2021 - With the Syria crisis in its tenth year, Jordan continues to host an estimated 1.2 million Syrian refugees in camps and host communities, of which over 660,000 registered. Other affected populations include 58,000 Iraqis, including a small number of unregistered refugees and those from Yemen. Crisis-affected populations require continued assistance to address essential humanitarian and protection needs. With GAC’s support, the International Rescue Committee (IRC) provides protection services and sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) support to refugees and vulnerable Jordanians. Project activities include: (1) providing sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) case management and focused psychosocial support services; (2) providing cash grants for especially vulnerable cases; (3) providing training to women community leadership groups; (4) conducting engagement sessions with men and boys on SGBV and harmful social norms; and (5) developing technical support plans with and for identified local actors.
Organization:
Global Affairs Canada
Expected Results:

The expected outcomes for this project include: (1) increased access of women and girls to protection, sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) case management and focused psychosocial support services; (2) provided cash for protection to SGBV survivors and women at risk; (3) increased access of women and girls to sexual and reproductive health services; and (4) increased awareness of sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) issues, and SGBV risks and prevention among targeted communities, to support women, girls and other vulnerable populations to seek and access protection safely.

The expected ultimate outcome is lives saved, suffering alleviated, and human dignity maintained in countries experiencing humanitarian crises or acute food insecurity.
