AMMAN — From delivering urgent Humanitarian aid to Gaza to development programmes for local communities throughout the Kingdom, UNICEF’s efforts continue to address both immediate crisis and long-term needs in Jordan. In an in-depth interview with The Jordan Times, Phillipe Duamelle, UNICEF Representative to Jordan, reflected over seven decades of UNICEF’s impactful presence in Jordan. 

Since 1952, UNICEF has been serving children in Jordan across various sectors including health, education, nutrition, child protection, social protection, water and sanitation. “For 72 years, together with the Jordanian government, local authorities, and civil society organisations, UNICEF tackled a broad range of issues to advance child rights, addressing immediate humanitarian responses with long-term development goals,” Duamelle said.
