UNICEF and the European Union announced Wednesday the signing of two agreements worth a combined seven million euros aimed at improving access to inclusive, high-quality education and strengthening child protection and mental health and psychosocial support services for the most vulnerable children and adolescents in Jordan.
The renewed partnership will also support learning recovery and skills development for children in Jordan, including Syrian refugees, through integrated services delivered at Makani centers.
More than thirty thousand children are expected to benefit from safe learning environments and essential services that help them stay in education, re-engage in learning, and build skills for their future.
Makani centers operate in refugee camps and the most marginalized communities in remote areas, providing integrated educational support, child protection services, skills development, and mental health and psychosocial support to ensure comprehensive care for children and adolescents.
European Union Ambassador to Jordan Pierre-Christophe Chatzisavas said the agreements reaffirm the bloc’s commitment to supporting the most vulnerable children across the country.
