More about the 2023 Annual Needs Assessment

The assessment highlights the general need to reduce aid dependency and intensify financial inclusion and income generation opportunities, as well as bolster social cohesion approaches between refugees and the host community, with resilience-based, cross-sectoral interventions.

Key findings from the 2023 assessment focus on insights across various thematic areas, particularly protection. This comprehensive assessment not only provides key insights but also serves as a critical roadmap for CARE Jordan’s future efforts in supporting and empowering communities.

Established in 1948 in the wake of the Palestinian crisis, CARE Jordan today leads a unified humanitarian and development response to sustainably support vulnerable Jordanian and refugee populations, expand effective partnerships, and enhance empowerment programming, especially for women and girls.

No Women, No Peace

When crises hit, women step-up as leaders, engaging hands-on to navigate challenges. Women leaders are often overlooked and unsupported in times of crisis, yet they continue to make considerable contributions.

They strengthen their livelihoods through resourcefulness and creativity. CARE's Women in War research shows that women are the key to effective crises recovery and long-term peacebuilding. By removing barriers to their participation and amplifying the critical work they are already doing, we can give women the recognition they deserve and empower them to change the future of crisis response.
