A COUNTRY DIRECTOR

Votre environnement de travail

Action Against Hunger has been operating in Jordan since 2013. The Jordan mission is dynamic and rapidly growing, with large-scale WASH, Livelihoods and Mental Health and Care Practices (MHCP) programmes being implemented in host communities and the Azraq refugee camp. The Jordan country strategy combines humanitarian and development projects to address the needs of Syrian refugees and vulnerable Jordanians through a holistic approach. With a team of 12 international employees and more than 100 national colleagues, the Action Against Hunger Jordan team manages a portfolio of projects for over 7 million euros, in response to the Syria crisis and its reverberating effects on development conditions in Jordan. Donors supporting these programmes include the EU via MADAD, AFD, GIZ, SDC, UNOCHA, UN Habitat, the Suez Foundation and ACF internal funding. Action Against Hunger also works in close partnership with UNICEF.

Jordan is considered as a stable country where security conditions enable safe implementation of projects. However, some specific warnings and restrictions can be issued from time to time in order to manage safety and security of our staff properly in regards to events.

Amman hosts the coordination office for Jordan and the Middle East Regional Office (MERO). Amman is a large and constantly growing city, offering easy access to all needed facilities and services.
