The United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) Jordan has received EUR 300,000 from the French Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs to fund the project “Provision of Integrated Comprehensive Gender-Based Violence (GBV) and Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH) Interventions for Refugee and Vulnerable Populations Affected by the Syria Crisis in Jordan.” The initiative aims to address the critical needs of Syrian refugees and vulnerable populations in the country.

The project will provide essential GBV and SRH services to women, girls, and persons with disabilities in refugee camps and host communities over a 12-month period. With the ongoing Syrian crisis impacting millions, Jordan faces significant challenges in providing support and resources. The funding will enhance health and protection services, particularly for those most affected by the crisis.

The project will support GBV survivors, provide SRH services, and enhance community awareness of gender norms. By strengthening capacities of governmental and non-governmental organizations, the project aims to deliver high-quality integrated services to address the pressing needs of vulnerable populations.

Alexis Le Cour Grandmaison, French Ambassador to Jordan, expressed France’s commitment to supporting Jordan in assisting Syrian refugees and vulnerable communities. The project will not only provide vital services but also build local capacities for long-term solutions, ensuring a more sustainable approach to addressing refugee needs.

By collaborating with key stakeholders and implementing comprehensive services, UNFPA Jordan aims to make a meaningful impact on the lives of Syrian refugees and vulnerable communities in Jordan.
