PROGRAM/DEPARTMENT SUMMARY:

In Jordan, 11% of the population are living with a type of disability, of which almost 20% are age 5 to 19 years old. With the influx of over 1,300,000 Syrian refugees into Jordan since 2012, there has been an increase of persons with disabilities (PWDs) in the country – roughly 20% of people crossing the border from Syria to Jordan have some form of disability. While there is current legislation protecting the rights of and services available to PWDs, the refugeecrisis continues to strain already limited resources to meet the basic needs of students in Jordan’s public schools which are overcrowded with the influx of Syrian refugees’ children. Specific needs of PWDs such as equipping facilities to be adequately accessible, providing transport, training teachers and offering special education resources and tools are not being met due to the unavailability of resources. Stronger linkages need to be made in schools between screening for disabilities, identifying needs and rehabilitative services for children with disabilities, as highlighted by the Ministry of Education’s (MOE) long-term strategy. MC is the leader in Inclusive Education programming in Jordan. With ten years of implementing experience, MC has developed a comprehensive approach to educational inclusion, providing individualized support for CWDs, context-appropriate training for teachers, and accommodative equipment and renovations for schools across Jordan. MC has established strong relationships with key educational decision-makers and donors, including the Ministry of Education (MoE), The Higher Council for Rights of Persons with Disabilities, UNICEF, ECHO, and PORTICUS. MC plans to leverage these relationships to advocate for systems-level change. Based on lessons learned from Mercy Corps’ (MC) experience to-date and the continued need to expand support to CWD, MC will continue expanding activities and reaching additional beneficiaries under the current funded PORTICUS program. The program takes a holistic approach to ensure equitable access and enrolment of Syrian and Jordanian children aged between 6-15 years with mild to moderate disabilities. Through the program’s activities, MC aims to sustain inclusive education in PORTICUS funded public schools, support MoE in promoting the institutionalization of an IE approach throughout the country, and increased the capacity of PORTICUS NGO partners in Jordan and Lebanon.
