A British embassy
press statement on Wednesday said the UK will “provide 12.5 million pounds ($15
million) over three years for the program, which will focus on ... providing
rehabilitation services to people with disabilities, and strengthening national
systems to improve access to these services for the long-term.”
In her opening
remarks, the ambassador emphasized the UK government’s commitment to supporting
both refugees and vulnerable host communities in Jordan.
Brind met with
the staff and beneficiaries of the program at the center to learn first-hand
the important services it provides for supporting children and families. She
highlighted the program’s important role in preventing gender-based violence.
The envoy noted
that the UN’s 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence campaign starts
on November 25.
The program also
supports a helpline that provides confidential and free-of charge services
throughout Jordan.
The program is
being delivered by partners from the Danish Refugee Council, the Jordan River
Foundation, and the Humanity and Inclusion charity.
