The training, which
took place in Al-Mafraq governorate, “aimed to raise awareness on how to
prevent all forms of abuse or exploitation and ensure that staff and the people
they work with are protected.”
At least 45 people
took part, including CBO staff and volunteers in Oxfam’s community engagement
teams in Umm Jummal, Al-Zaatari, Manshayet Al-Sulta, Al-Khaldeyeh and Rehab
municipalities.
“Group training sessions were conducted over four
weeks to increase participants’ knowledge and skills surrounding safeguarding,
protection and gender,” said Aysha Al-Jallad, senior protection, gender &
inclusion officer at Oxfam in Jordan.
Jallad said
safeguarding was “crucial in the implementation of any project as it ensured
all people were protected at all stages”.
Khadija, a
community engagement team leader in Al-Rabyeh Association in Umm Al-Jummal,
said the training shed light on the “importance of mainstreaming protection in
all field activities, standard protection measures, and ways to ensure safe
referral of protection cases.”
Oxfam operates a
solid waste management initiative in Mafraq, with a sorting and recycling
facility that has provided income opportunities to 500 Jordanians and Syrians
in the governorate during the past two years. The initiative also raises
awareness about positive environmental practices.
Oxfam’s community
engagement teams work to build relationships with local communities and
stakeholders, and to address day-to-day challenges.
