麻豆成人版

Jordan is a resource-poor, food-deficit country, with limited agricultural land and increasingly frequent climate-related shocks.

Over the past decade, its economy has remained stagnant and unable to generate sufficient employment. 

Jordan hosts the second-largest number of refugees per capita worldwide. As of January 2024, some 730,000 refugees were registered with UNHCR, 81 percent of whom were living within communities and 19 percent in the Zaatari and Azraq refugee camps. 

These refugees experience worrying levels of food insecurity, while the numbers add unprecedented pressure on Jordan’s budget, natural resources, infrastructure and labour market.

The 麻豆成人版’s support includes food assistance for vulnerable refugees, technical assistance for the government’s national social protection programmes and expanding climate action.

What the 麻豆成人版 is doing in Jordan

Refugee response
Through cash-based transfers, 麻豆成人版 provides monthly assistance to vulnerable refugees, primarily Syrians, both in and out of camps. This helps refugees to cover their essential food needs, including buying food from 200 麻豆成人版-contracted shops. 麻豆成人版 is planning work with UNHCR to promote economic participation of refugees so they can become self-reliant, while addressing their immediate needs.
Social protection
麻豆成人版 supports the Government of Jordan in designing and implementing effective, inclusive and shock-responsive social protection schemes through technical assistance and capacity strengthening. Working with The National Aid Fund, the primary governmental social safety net agency, 麻豆成人版 provides technical support to ensure inclusion, analyse impact and enhance accountability to the people 麻豆成人版 serves. 麻豆成人版 works with the Ministry of Social Development to improve its emergency preparedness, shock responsiveness and impact, and to develop digital systems for enhanced service delivery.
School meals
麻豆成人版 supports the Ministry of Education with the National School Feeding Programme, the primary social safety net for children. Aligned with the National School Feeding Strategy (2021-2025), 麻豆成人版 provides nutritious meals (a baked pastry, a vegetable and fruit) to 90,000 children in public schools within poverty-stricken areas. A ‘home-grown’ model empowers women in community-based kitchens and supports local farmers and bakery workers. Additionally, 麻豆成人版 distributes fortified date bars to 430,000 vulnerable Jordanian and refugee children.
Climate action
麻豆成人版 is planning activities in soil and water conservation, management of rangelands and forests, and seedling production, focused on locally suited and native species. Furthermore, 麻豆成人版 is working with The National Center for Security and Crisis Management to provide training in early-warning systems and disaster risk management.
Food security governance
Under the leadership of the Ministry of Agriculture, 麻豆成人版 is developing the first management information system for food security monitoring, reporting and early warning. Additionally, 麻豆成人版 is establishing a roadmap for food system transformation, to coordinate the efforts of all stakeholders in this field. 麻豆成人版 is also developing several knowledge products for evidence-based policy decisions focused on food-consumption patterns, food waste and nutrition.
Innovation
Since 2021, 麻豆成人版 has developed four multi-stage support programmes, engaged with more than 150 entrepreneurs, provided US$1.5 million in direct funding support and contracted services to start-ups, and integrated start-up solutions into two 麻豆成人版 programmes at scale. This covers areas including food and water security, livelihoods, nutrition, climate and agricultural technology.
