Project brief:-

Municipal Businesses Project (MUBU)

Lead implementing organization: Finn Church Aid (FCA ), funded by the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs

Project Location: Jordan, municipalities of Dhlail, Sahab, Mahis, Jerash, Alza’tari & Almansheah, and Jnaid

· Project Objective: Vulnerable Syrian refugees and host communities members have improved economic and social prospects through involvement in local market-driven businesses and protection activities

The Municipal Businesses project, funded by the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs, aims to improve social-economic prospects for refugees and host communities in six municipalities in Jordan through holistic interventions focusing on protection and support by developing locally appropriate businesses. The project will be implemented by Finn Church Aid (FCA) and HelpAge International (HAI) in cooperation with six Local Development Units (LDUs) of six municipalities in different governorates in Jordan (Dhlail in Zarqa governorate, Sahab in Amman governorate, Mahis in Salt governorate, Jerash in Jerash governorate, Alza’tari & Almansheah in Mafraq governorate, and Jnaid in Ajloun governorate). This will help to localize the support and link the project to the decentralization agenda of the government, ensuring sustainability and utilizing local resources. The project will specifically focus on self-employment of Syrian refugees (30%) and vulnerable host community members (70%) with special attention to youth (50%), women (50%), people with disabilities (5%) and household heads with older or disabled members of the household (70%).

In vulnerable families, income is needed to support family members with special needs. By linking livelihood interventions to the protection of and social and health services to these vulnerable groups, we will seek to reduce the burden on young members of the family, thus providing for a more integrated and sustainable response.

The project will directly support the establishment of businesses and the expansion of businesses, creating new jobs and improving increased access to social and health services.
