HI has been operating in Jordan since 2006, implementing projects ranging from the provision of comprehensive rehabilitation services, directly, through service providers or through a community based approach; inclusive local development, disability movement strengthening through capacity building of Disabled People’s Organizations and multi-stakeholder dialogue, among others.
In line with the Jordan Response Plan and the 3RP Regional Refugee and Resilience Plan, HI has always sought to integrate resilience and sustainable elements throughout its interventions, by adopting a twin-track approach which seeks to simultaneously address the direct needs of beneficiaries all the while engaging in dialogue with them, with local authorities and local actors to empower them to claim and address their rights to access these services.
Since late 2015 and in line with the evolution of the Syrian crisis into a protracted one, HI adjusted its strategy of intervention to progressively shift from direct to indirect service provision through partners. As of July 2017, the Jordan mission comprises a single entity seeking to ensure the continuity between emergency response, rehabilitation and development.
Currently, the Jordan Mission is implementing projects on Rehabilitation, Early Detection and Early Intervention (EDEI), Inclusion and Inclusive livelihood. HI Jordan receives funding from DFID, BPRM, DFAT, OCHA, Drosos and soon DFID DID the latter two specifically supporting inclusive livelihood

SPECIFICITES/PARTICULARITES DU POSTE :
Jordan is, comparatively to many countries where HI is present, a relatively safe and secure country, with regular presence of international tourists including from Occidental countries, and where the situation/context does not require having heavy security procedures.
Indeed, in the past 12 years of presence in Jordan, the security level remains at 2 for most of the time; this is due to its proximity to countries in conflict or involved in wars. The country is currently facing economic challenges and high rates of unemployment, which translate frequently to demonstrations mainly in the capital Amman. Jordan has a good level of acceptance of foreigners, and has a strongly respected Royal family. The police/armed forces are well trained, well paid and well equipped. The health conditions are really good in Jordan, with a complete access to high quality medical care in Amman (hospitals, pharmacies, labs, X-ray, IRM, all specializations doctors), allowing international staff to have a safe stay in country including with families and babies.
However, Jordan also faces some regular difficulties and possible tensions could be expected due to the regional situation, especially in the close-by countries. Jordan currently participates in the International Coalition against Houthis in Yemen. In addition, the situation in Iraq as well as in Palestine strongly impact Jordan, first in an “emotional” way (many Jordanians have Palestinian origins, and Jordanians and Iraqis historically ha
