UNOPS: Opening of Jerash Social Care Centre for Rehabilitation in Jordan

The Ministry of Social Development (MoSD), the European Union (EU) and UNOPS marked the opening of Jerash Social Care Centre for Rehabilitation in Jordan.

The centre was rehabilitated under the “Modernization of the Social Protection Physical Environment” project, which is funded by the EU and implemented by UNOPS, in partnership with MoSD. The project aims at stabilising Jordan’s macro-economic situation and enhancing Jordan’s social and economic development in line with Jordan Vision 2025, in addition to enhancing Jordan's resilience to deal with the impact of the Syrian crisis and regional instability.



The project will contribute to support social sector reforms and the development of an equitable and inclusive society in Jordan through the improvement and modernization of the quality and performance of the social protection system. Till the end of last year, 59 centres were rehabilitated in the north, center, and south of Jordan and by the year 2022, up to 100 social care centres more will be rehabilitated to ensure the centres’ accessibility, energy and water efficiency.
