Jordan

The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan has long been a peace broker in the Middle East and a safe haven for refugees in the region. Today, the overwhelming influx of refugees from Syria strains Jordan’s economic and social fabric, while violent extremism heightens tensions. Our team bridges divides and prevents and transforms violent extremism.
