Background
ABOUT MERCY CORPS:
Mercy Corps is a leading global organization powered by the belief that a better world is possible. In disaster, in hardship, in more than 40 countries around the world, we partner to put bold solutions into action helping people triumph over adversity and build stronger communities from within now, and for the future.
Inclusive Security and Resilient Youth (ISRY)
Mercy Corps and Axiom International have started the implementation of the 24-month programme “Inclusive Security and Resilient Youth Project – ISRY,” a community-based development programme supporting at-risk youth (between ages 16-30) in Jordan. ISRY adopts a positive youth development approach to psychosocial support interventions with the aim of 1) promoting learning; 2) increasing stability through co-existence and inclusive security; and 3) building the psychosocial resiliency of youth and their families. Mercy Corps, in close coordination with Axiom, will create connections between youth and Public Security actors through engagement in nature and community-based activities.
In close collaboration with the Ministry of Youth and the Ministry of Social Development, the programme will identify three local community-based organizations (CBOs), one in the north, center and south of Jordan – to establish Community Action Hubs providing youth with a safe space to improve social stability and ultimately make youth and their communities more resilient. Additionally, the programme will seek to strengthen the CBOs’institutional capacities to sustain long-term impact.
The project will place additional focus on the national level to strengthen the role of women and youth representation in the Youth Peace and Security – YPS 2250 – coalition in Jordan, through close collaboration with the Ministry of Youth and other stakeholders.
