NCFA Secretary-General Mohammad Miqdadi said that the Cabinet-approved
executive plan is the fruit of national efforts to enhance the protection
system, adding that the launch highlights Jordan’s caommitment to such issues.
Addressing GBV requires the collective efforts of many institutions, and
the executive plan provides the institutional framework to ensure survivors of
domestic violence receive comprehensive services, he said.
The NCFA will partner with the UN Population Fund (
UNFPA) and the
National Protection Team to prepare an annual report that monitors the plan’s
achievements and challenges. The report will be presented to the NCFA’s board
of trustees and the Cabinet for discussion and adoption.
He
said that the council will work with
UNICEF and other institutions to review
the plan’s child protection components.
For
her part, UNFPA Jordan Director Enshrah Ahmed said that the plan is part of a
series of procedures to develop the executive framework of the family
protection system.
The
fund, she added, is collaborating on the project as part of its Essential
Services Package for Women and Girls Subject to Violence, which aims at
providing greater access to a coordinated set of basic and quality
multisectoral services in the sectors of health, social services, police, and
justice for everyone exposed to GBV.
