In line with its Country Programme Document for the period 2018-2022, the United Nations Development Programme in Jordan supports activities to address poverty and inequality, and achieve resilience and inclusion by supporting initiatives that foster an enabling environment for livelihoods and job creation, especially among vulnerable youth, women, and host communities in crisis-affected areas. These activities include the emergency employment, skills development, and microbusinesses and employment facilitation. These aim to design and apply resilience-based development solutions for local economic recovery and enabling equitable access to financial solutions to ensure no one is left behind in Jordan. In March 2019, UNDP Jordan started a project “Preventing Violent Extremism and Building Resilience of Livelihoods in Jordan through Humanitarian-Development-Peace Nexus and Human Security Approaches” (“PVE and Resilience” project). With an overall objective of supporting the stabilization and resilience-building of Jordan through a comprehensive approach, the project plans to tackle urgent and unpredictable development challenges as well as alleviate political instability in Jordanian communities. Particularly, as part of the above-mentioned project, “Heart of Amman” initiative was launched to aim at increasing socio-economic resilience and sustainable livelihoods in the capital city of Amman. This project highlights the importance of protection and preservation of cultural heritage sites in downtown Amman, and provides opportunities for the residents in developing their own community-based initiatives. Partnering with the Greater Amman Municipality (GAM), UNDP encourages young men and women to lead the community interventions, and be part of the decision-making process on the neighborhood improvement. Therefore, “Hear of Amman” initiative is envisaged to improve the sense of belonging of vulnerable Amman residents, as well as encourage them to have a pride in their communities and neighborhoods by protecting cultural legacy and revitalizing downtown Amman. Technical and financial proposals along with CV & 3 references should be submitted, and without such will not be considered).
