Results from previous phases:  

The insights and results are based on Switzerland’s previous contribution:

• Mobilised support around a common agenda for all education stakeholders in Jordan along the humanitarian-development-peace nexus
• Built foundations for responsive, resilient and adaptable education in Jordan
• Established a solid partnership and coordination structure led by the MoE for policy dialogue
• Built foundations for enhanced governance and successful implementation of the ESP and the Strategy for Mainstreaming Gender Equality in Education
• Strengthened the enabling environment of the Education Management Information System (EMIS). UNHCR and UNRWA data on refugee aligned and integrated into EMIS, reflecting all learners in Jordan, regardless of status or nationality, and providing disaggregated data for informed policy decisions and implementation of targeted interventions towards vulnerable groups including ensuring data privacy.
