The European Union has announced €10 million in funding for UNICEF over the coming two years to help improve the inclusion, learning and wellbeing of vulnerable children and youth across Jordan in Makani centres, as well as schools in refugee camps.
This partnership under the “Education and Makani Programmes for Vulnerable Syrian and Host Community Children in Jordan” will support the delivery of quality education for more than 36,000 children and adolescents in Syrian refugee camps. In addition, 9,000 vulnerable children and youth of Jordanian, Syrian and other nationalities will benefit from a package of integrated learning, child protection and skills development in Makani centres.
H.E. Pierre-Christophe Chatzisavas, Ambassador of the European Union to Jordan said, “Today we are reaffirming our strong and valued partnership with the Ministry of Education and UNICEF that has spanned over the past decade. With this new program worth 10 million EURO, we want to ensure access to education for 45.000 Syrian refugee and Jordanian students in camp schools and Makani centres. Youth is our most important wealth.”
