Advancing Development Goals

The Sustainable Cultural Heritage Through the Engagement of Local Communities Project (SCHEP) is implemented by the American Center of Oriental Research (ACOR) and funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID).

Amideast is pleased to partner with Mercy Corps in the Nubader: Youth Activism Across Borders program targeting over 200 Jordanian youth, parents and community leaders in Ma’an as well as 100 American youth, parents and young professional leaders. The program will connect Jordanian and American youth, parents and community mobilisers through virtual exchange meetings, seminars and facilitated sessions focused on civic engagement, community strengthening, cultural exchange, environmental sustainability and youth resilience.

The objectives of the Nubader program are:

Female participation in the economy of Jordan remains a missed opportunity, with women comprising only 14% of employment in the country. Female representation in faculties of science and engineering are lower still, with few women graduating and pursuing careers in engineering, technological development, computer science and more.

In partnership with the International Labor Organization (ILO), Amideast is developing the skills and training capacity of 30 Career Guidance Counselors working in ILO’s 14 Employment Centers across the Kingdom and in Zaatari and Azraq refugee camps in support of the ILO Jordan’s 2022 Decent Country Work Programme.

Amideast has partnered with the Inventionland Institute (ILI) to support innovation and economic growth opportunities for youth and young innovators across the MENA region.

Are you a journalist or work in the news and media sector in Jordan? Do you want to improve your English skills, meet people in your field and network with personalities and voices of Jordan’s political, social and cultural scene?

Amideast, with support from the U.S. Embassy in Jordan, is delivering its first round of completely FREE to join online English training courses focused on professionals working in Jordan’s media and journalism fields.

Sponsored through funding from the Boeing Company, Amideast selected 20 Jordanian fresh graduates with degrees in ICT, Computer Science and Computer Engineering seeking careers in the ICT field.

ABOUT

Through the successive components of PFDP, a community of practice has evolved among Palestinian academics, beginning with a focus on improving the quality of individual Palestinian faculty, expanding to facilitate improved teaching and learning practices in higher education institutions, and culminating in the establishment of Centers for Teaching Excellence at four universities—An Najah National University, Palestine Polytechnic University, Bethlehem University, and Palestine Technical University—where a new culture of teaching and learning has taken root.
