Summary
P010077001 & P010077002: This project supports the Jordanian Ministry of Education (MoE) to ensure that all girls and boys (including refugee children, children with disabilities, and out-of-school children) have access to quality education in Jordan, regardless of their nationality. This education promotes life skills, improved learning outcomes, and work readiness. This project builds on the first phase of the Accelerating Access Initiative (AAI), which supported the MoE to provide formal education in Jordanian’s public schools to more than 140,000 Syrian refugee children. Under the second phase of the AAI, the MoE expand its outreach to provide formal and non-formal education opportunities to over 200,000 children, including Syrian and refugee children of other nationalities, children with disabilities, out-of-school children and other vulnerable Jordanian children. Project activities include: (1) covering tuition fees and textbooks for all refugee children in Jordan; (2) providing training to teachers and educators on inclusive and gender-sensitive education, child protection and blended learning approaches; (3) meeting the needs of the most vulnerable children, including children with disabilities, by equipping non-formal education centers and schools with furniture and equipment and (4) supporting community-based approaches aimed at increasing enrollment rates and preventing school drop-outs in vulnerable communities.
As with all pooled funded projects, Canada collaborate with other donors and the Government of Jordan to promote effective, transparent, and accountable country systems, increase donor coordination and harmonization and strengthen mutual accountability. This type of assistance fosters greater policy dialogue among donors, government, and partners, strengthening efforts for effective focussed aid, and long-term development results. This project is continuously monitored and evaluated in coordination with other donors.

Description (French)
Ce projet soutient le ministère jordanien de l’Éducation (ME) pour veiller à ce que toutes les filles et tous les garçons (y compris les enfants réfugiés, les enfants handicapés et les enfants non scolarisés) aient accès à une éducation de qualité en Jordanie, quelle que soit leur nationalité. Cette éducation favorise l’acquisition d’aptitudes à la vie quotidienne, l’amélioration des résultats d’apprentissage et la préparation au travail. Ce projet s’appuie sur la première phase de l’Initiative d’accélération de l’accès (AAI), qui a aidé le ME à offrir une éducation formelle dans les écoles publiques jordaniennes à plus de 140 000 enfants réfugiés syriens. Dans le cadre de la deuxième phase de l’AAI, le ME élargit ses activités de sensibilisation pour offrir des possibilités d’éducation formelle et non formelle à plus de 200 000 enfants, y compris des enfants syriens et réfugiés d’autres nationalités, des enfants handicapés, des enfants non scolarisés et des enfants jordaniens vulnérables. Principales activités : 1) couvrir les frais de scolarité et les manuels scolaires pour tous les enfants réfugiés en Jordanie; 2) offrir une formation aux enseignants et aux éducateurs sur l’éducation inclusive et sensible au genre, la protection de l’enfance et les approches d’apprentissage mixte; 3) répondre aux besoins des enfants les plus vulnérables, y compris les enfants handicapés, en équipant les centres d’éducation non formelle et les écoles de mobilier et d’équipement adéquats; 4) appuyer les approches communautaires visant à augmenter les taux d’inscription et à prévenir le décrochage dans les communautés vulnérables.
Comme pour tous les projets financés conjointement, le Canada collabore avec d’autres donateurs et le gouvernement de la Jordanie pour promouvoir des systèmes nationaux efficaces, transparents et responsables, accroître la coordination et l’harmonisation des donateurs et renforcer la responsabilisation mutuelle. Ce type d’aide favorise un plus grand dialogue sur les politiques entre les donateurs, les gouvernements et les partenaires, le renforcement des efforts pour une aide ciblée efficace et l’obtention de résultats à long terme en matière de développement. Ce projet fait l’objet d’un suivi et d’une évaluation continus, en collaboration avec les autres donateurs.

Expected Results (French)
Les résultats escomptés de ce projet sont les suivants : 1) l’amélioration de l’accès et de l’équité à l’éducation formelle et non formelle, 2) l’amélioration de la qualité de l’éducation dans des environnements d’apprentissage sûrs et favorables, 3) le renforcement des capacités du ministère de l’Éducation à planifier, budgétiser, surveiller et évaluer les programmes de développement.
