This 17-month programme aims to enhance national community
engagement across diverse sectors and provide support in the realm of Women,
Peace, and Security (WPS) across the four pillars of the Jordanian National
Action Plan for the Implementation of UN Security Council Resolution 1325 on
Women, Peace, and Security (JONAP II).
The launch was chaired by the programme’s Team Leader, Ms.
Sanaa Qasmieh of Chemonics UK, who highlighted the programme’s key objectives,
noting the following: “Tamasok aims to increase the participation of Civil
Society Organisations (CSOs) that focus on WPS in Jordan. We want to use an
inclusive, empowering, and evidence-based approach to document stories of
change and share what works with WPS stakeholders in Jordan.”
Dr. Mohanned Arabiat, President of Generations for Peace and
Acting CEO also welcomed GFP’s collaboration with Chemonics UK. He added: “This
programme aims to cultivate a dynamic ecosystem of actors and foster
collaboration. Tamasok will invest in the priorities outlined by Civil Society
Organizations (CSOs) and Women's Rights Organisations (WROs) to effectively
operate as accountability actors within the ecosystem.”
To foster this ecosystem, the Tamasok programme will also
establish a Community of Practice (CoP), which will stand at the core of the
programme's objectives. This formal space will facilitate the sharing of
evidence and lessons learned among organisations with dedicated expertise in
the implementation of JONAP II. The CoP, which will consist of government
officials, religious and community leaders, thinks tanks, academics as well as
media specialists, will play a vital role in fostering peer-to-peer collaboration
throughout the programme.
At the launch event, Chemonics UK and GFP stressed the
importance of Tamasok’s role in the WPS sector and their optimism about the
programme’s success.
