The Jordan International NGO Forum,
Himam the Coalition for Civil Society Organizations, and JONAF represent over 200 leading and active NGOs in
the country.
The joint two-page statement the NGOs emphasized the need for
efficient implementation and rapid response to both urgent humanitarian needs
and long-term development goals. The NGOs also expressed concerns about the
lack of coordination among various government bodies and the poor communication
between the government and NGOs, which often causes confusion about each
party's goals, roles, and responsibilities.
The three NGOs coalition said that lack of coordination is caused
by the fact that “various bodes prioritize different issues, causing a
discrepancy with national strategies.”
To address these issues, the NGOs on behalf of over 200 civil society
organizations that they collectively represent, made several
recommendations, including enhanced transparency by publicly sharing
information about projects needing approval, empowering an entity to evaluate
and grant approvals, and promoting communication and coordination between NGOs.
The statement also called on the Ministry of Planning and
International Coordination to take a more proactive role in communicating the
government's priorities and urged all Jordanian partners to comply with the
Foreign Funding Mechanism approval process.
This call to action highlights the NGOs' commitment to working with
the government to achieve a more effective and impactful response to the
country's development needs.
