Project Background
The Jordan Himaya project is a USAID-funded activity that aims to enhance access to and quality of essential services and protection for survivors of gender-based violence (GBV) in Jordan. The project has two outcomes: 1) survivor-centered institutional capacity improved, and 2) legislative frameworks for protecting survivors and responding to violence strengthened. To achieve these outcomes, the project will apply a survivor-centered systems-strengthening approach to improve prevention, response, and protection services, and to support the development and implementation of survivor-centered legislation and policies. The project will work with and through local partners, including a Jordanian partner consortium and an all-Jordanian key personnel team, to leverage their expertise and ensure the sustainability and impact of the project interventions. Outcome 1 will inform research, advocacy, and policy changes in Outcome 2, while reforms supported under Outcome 2 will be implemented and enforced by institutions and service providers that have gained stronger capacity under Outcome 1.
